If you want users +other than the superuser to be able to display the clock value using the +direct ISA I/O method, install it setuid root. If you have the /dev/rtc +interface on your system or are on a non-ISA system, there's probably +no need for users to use the direct ISA I/O method, so don't bother. + +To install setuid root, do something like this: + + chmod a=rx,u=s /sbin/hwclock + +In any case, hwclock will not allow you to set anything unless you have +the superuser _real_ uid. (This is restriction is not necessary if you +haven't installed setuid root, but it's there for now). |
