Hello list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just recently switched a few of my servers of to UTC from localtime due to |
| 4 |
an new application deployment relying on UTC time. I am now having problems |
| 5 |
with this as the real time is not reflected. I also made these changes to |
| 6 |
gentoo running in usermode linux on one of the machines, and it is now doubly |
| 7 |
off. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I have NTP setup and running on all of these machines, and the TZ environment |
| 10 |
variable is not set. And, the time would be accurate, if I was on the |
| 11 |
equater; I am not. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
This is what I changed: |
| 14 |
/etc/conf.d/clock: CLOCK="UTC" |
| 15 |
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC |
| 16 |
It was: |
| 17 |
/etc/conf.d/clock: CLOCK="local" |
| 18 |
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/<my timezone> |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I have another machine that does reflect the proper time, and it is set as |
| 21 |
follows: |
| 22 |
/etc/conf.d/clock: CLOCK="UTC" |
| 23 |
/etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/<my timezone> |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
At this point, I am a little confused. These are production systems, and I |
| 26 |
wanted to ask before I just go trying things. Is it possible that I just |
| 27 |
need to set the clock? If so, does that mean ntpclient and ntpd either |
| 28 |
haven't been doing their job, or their syncing to the wrong timezone? |
| 29 |
|

I appreciate the help. :) |
