correct. I've modified the sources of /sbin/clock to work with the 2.1.x
/dev/rtc. The only thing you need to do for the Decstatation is to add
/dev/rtc support to your kernel. You can find the SRPMS for it on
ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/mipsel-linux/SRPMS.

which only sets the kernel clock, but not the hardware clock.
