hi there, today i wanted to copy the pictures from my camera sd card to my openbsd notebook. after mounting the card i noticed that there are files with future dates...
amaaq> ls -la /etc/localtime lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 36 May 21 12:23 /etc/localtime@ -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland amaaq> ls -la -rw-rw-rw- 1 f wheel 906429 May 23 05:36 dscn9996.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 f wheel 877491 May 23 05:37 dscn9997.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 f wheel 915682 May 23 05:38 dscn9998.jpg amaaq> TZ= ls -la -rw-rw-rw- 1 f wheel 906429 May 22 17:36 dscn9996.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 f wheel 877491 May 22 17:37 dscn9997.jpg -rw-rw-rw- 1 f wheel 915682 May 22 17:38 dscn9998.jpg amaaq> echo $TZ amaaq> ls prints the correct date/time when explicitly clearing $TZ. but there is nothing in it in the first place... i had different timezones before, but now i am in new zealand... this has never happened before as far as a i can tell.. ls(1) says that TZ is used to print the dates but it never occured to me that it would add $TZ hours to the file date, that's why i am having filedates in the future, obivously, that the files have correct dates on disk. is this the accepted behaviour? the mounts are ext2fs and msdos btw. 4.3-current as of may 19 -f -- how much can i get away with and still go to heaven?
