Hi

 

There appears to be a bug in setting the BMC SEL time with a string in
that it sets the time one hour before the string provided.

e.g.

ipmitool sel time set  "02/21/2011 10:12:34"

02/21/2011 9:12:34

 

I believe the cause is that struct tm is unitialised and so the daylight
saving flag appears to be set so mktime reduces the time by one hour.

Placing on line 1889 before mktime() in  ipmi_sel_set_time of ipmi_sel.c

tm.tm_isdst = 0;

 

seems to cure this problem.

ipmitool sel time set  "02/21/2011 10:12:34"

02/21/2011 10:12:34

 

 

Cheers

Jon
