Hello list, I just recently switched a few of my servers of to UTC from localtime due to an new application deployment relying on UTC time. I am now having problems with this as the real time is not reflected. I also made these changes to gentoo running in usermode linux on one of the machines, and it is now doubly off.
I have NTP setup and running on all of these machines, and the TZ environment variable is not set. And, the time would be accurate, if I was on the equater; I am not. This is what I changed: /etc/conf.d/clock: CLOCK="UTC" /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC It was: /etc/conf.d/clock: CLOCK="local" /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/<my timezone> I have another machine that does reflect the proper time, and it is set as follows: /etc/conf.d/clock: CLOCK="UTC" /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/<my timezone> At this point, I am a little confused. These are production systems, and I wanted to ask before I just go trying things. Is it possible that I just need to set the clock? If so, does that mean ntpclient and ntpd either haven't been doing their job, or their syncing to the wrong timezone? I appreciate the help. :) Robert -- [email protected] mailing list
