The answer to my problem is htpdate. I was searching for such an utility for |
| 4 |
quite some time. I still have one problem, though. When installing Gentoo, I |
| 5 |
probably chose the USA as my location. However, I'm located in CET (that is, |
| 6 |
GMT+1). From htpdate, I receive the following output: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
localhost liviu # /usr/sbin/htpdate -dq -P PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT |

#: 3, mean: -24738, average: -24738.000 |

For some reason, it persistently considers my timezone EST (Eastern Standard |
| 21 |
Time, GMT-5). I reconsidered Gentoo's localization guide and now |
| 22 |
/etc/cond.d/clock contains these two options: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
localhost liviu # nano /etc/conf.d/clock |
| 25 |
[..] |
| 26 |
CLOCK="local" |
| 27 |
TIMEZONE="Europe/Berlin" |
| 28 |
[..] |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I also added TZ="Europe/Berlin" to both user and |
| 31 |
root ~/.bash_profile. And still, htpdate wants to synchronize my clock to EST. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Any ideas on how to make htpdate think that I'm actually in the EU instead |
| 34 |
of the US? There was no info on the way it treats timezones, neither in the |
| 35 |
man page, nor on their site. I did find in their changelog: 0.6.1 ----- - |
| 36 |
Code clean up, use global variable 'timezone'. However, running it under new |
| 37 |
env gives me yet again the time synced to EST: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
localhost liviu # timezone="GMT+1" OR TIMEZONE="CET" htpdate -dq -P |
| 40 |
PROXY_ADDRESS:PROXY_PORT www.linux.org www.opera.com pool.ntp.org |
| 41 |
[..] |
| 42 |
Timezone: GMT-5 (EST,EST) |
| 43 |
Offset -24738.000 seconds |
