tlug: unstable date and testing cmos battery

[Eric Standlee <fwiw3980@example.com>]

In linux can you check the status of the CMOS battery?  And, can a bad
cmos battery be the reason for an unstable date?

I find that I am constantly having to go into linuxconf (RH6.0) and reset
the date and time as well as the timezone.  Maybe I goofed the setup
somehow and the timezone doesn't jive?

Appreciate any advice, and thanks for the help with the sendmail
problems,

Eric
