Lee: I got caught with incorrect time last Friday by Guenther. I think I have solved it (MDK9.2)
There seems to be a bug in the MDK config tool. The main problem is that (I think it is, I did not spend the time to do further research) in /etc/ should be a file called localtime. In reality there is a directory there with the same name. Rename this directory to something else, same localtimeold. Make a link /usr/share/zoneinfo/whateveryourtimezone to /etc/localtime edit your /etc/sysconfig/clock manually so it shows UTC=true ZONE=America/Phoenix ARC=false Adjust ZONE=America/Phoenix to your timezone Adjust the time in MCC, but not timezone Restart your ntpd after (or restart your computer). If you didn't restart your computer, log out and in again to get the correct time on your clock. If you do "ntptime" as root , no errors should show up and "date" should show the correct time and the correct timezone. Good luck Tom On Mon, 2003-11-24 at 07:14, J.
