If you have securelevel greater than 1 the kernel prevent large time changes. See man init(8).

However, now I'm curious - isn't this going to be a recurring problem (admittedly only twice a year) for the non-trivial number of machines that do run ntpd for various reasons?

Robert Huff Shouldn't be a recurring problem but it can depend on what version of FreeBSD you are running. I've had no problem with 6.X and 7.X updating automatically this weekend. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I suspect that it is only a problem for those whose machines are a) Having the CMOS clock set to local time (instead of UTC) and b) Having their computers turned off when the switch to/from DST is being made - thus preventing adjkerntz(8) from adjusting the CMOS clock appropriately. Running ntpd(8) will by itself not cause any problems - but in the above scenario it will not adjust the time to be correct either - the jump will be too large. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Hi, My FreeBSD 6.2 doesn't change to Daylight Saving Time. How should I fix it?
