uname giving wrong info

ddu_ · 06-14-2007, 08:41 PM

Hi guys/gals, I tried finding the answers to this prior to posting but didn't have any luck. this is the outputs from unname -a

Code:

Linux mouser 2.4.33.3 #1 Fri Sep 1 01:48:52 CDT 2006 i686 athlon-4 i386 GNU/Linux

The time/timezone and date are way off. The date and date -u commands are accurate:

Code:

Thu Jun 14 21:49:35 EDT 2007

Everything looks good with the hardware clock and I have /etc/localtime linked correctly.

Any ideas how I can fix my uname problem?

thanks!

the date in the uname command is the time & date that the kernel was compiled...

mine is:

bash-3.2$ uname -a
Linux gnu 2.6.21.5 #1 Tue Jun 12 19:14:24 CDT 2007 i686 athlon-4 i386 GNU/Linux

Excellent! That certainly clarifies everything for me.
