As I said earlier, if you want to change the src addr, use redirect_address functionality instead of proxy_only.

symlink, but making a copy simply allows the file in /etc to become

*shrug*-- maybe, but if you don't mount /usr, the system isn't
capable of running much which cares about the timezone. Even syslogd
itself is under /usr/sbin

Fixing DST manually on rel4 rel5
Hello -questions:
This is most certanly a FAQ but I'm not yet finding the kind of
answer I need...
I have a couple of old FreeBSD systems that I can't (yet) update
to the new Daylight Saving Time rules (based on the email message
that came out on -announce in late February). One is
4.10-stable, last updated late November 2004 the other is
5.4-release. Cvsup brings /usr/src in order but I can't update
ports (yet) to get misc/zoneinfo and it doesn't look like I can
just transfer the /usr/share/zoneinfo bits over from /usr/src
without a {build,install}world (also impractical at this time).
Best I can tell from the message that came from -announce sometime
back, the same fix(es) would apply to both the 4 5 branches.
Is there a proper way to fix the timezone on these machines
manually pending the real change that will happen in the
system according to the previous rules/schedule? (e.g. Fix it
temporarily/manually but not clobber the original rules.)
Or is there some way to install the new cvsup'ed zoneinfo bits
into an old system so I can run tzsetup and have everything
fixed correctly? I'm in US Central timezone and I've seen it
reported as CST6CDT (I guess that's in SysV).
FAQ/doc/book pointers/references are welcome of course - I'm
still digging around in both the Handbook Complete FreeBSD
and wherever else I can find...
Many thanks,
-kc

But until I restart some applications, I dont see the right times logged in syslog ?! e.g # date Mon Mar 12 08:17:06 EDT 2007 And looking at BIND's entries to syslog, I see the correct timestamps Mar 12 08:17:42 granite named[16080]: denied recursion for query from [198.73.192.129].1364 for 119.64.22.72.in-addr.arpa IN Mar 12 08:17:42 granite named[16080]: denied recursion for query from [198.73.192.129].1364 for 119.64.22.72.in-addr.arpa IN Mar 12 07:17:43 granite /kernel: Connection attempt to TCP 199.212.xx.x:995 from 74.97.26.112:53911 flags:0x02 Mar 12 08:17:50 granite named[16080]: denied update from [64.7.xx.90].2163 for xxx.com IN Mar 12 08:17:50 granite named[16080]: denied update from [64.7.xx.90].2163 for xxx.com IN yet mixed in notice the /kernel entry...

Hi Mike, It appears that certain daemons don't read tzdata except at startup. I'm not using bind or sendmail in production but I did notice this on a few development servers... Probably related to the way time zone info is read by libc. Because really, how often does it change? :) - Chris Mike Tancsa wrote: I am seeing some inconsistent and strange results after the DST change this weekend.

DST on very old FreeBSD system
I've been asked to update a very old FreeBSD system -- an embedded system that's chugging along happily on FreeBSD 2.2.8 -- to handle the new start and stop dates for Daylight Savings Time. There's no need to update the OS on the system, because it is firewalled from the Internet and runs the embedded hardware it has to run just fine. But it does need the clock to be right to perform scheduled tasks. If I simply copy /etc/localtime from a FreeBSD 6.1 system to that one, will it work? Or has the time zone file format changed at all? (I seem to recall that it was fixed by POSIX, but I don't know if versions of FreeBSD that old are POSIX-compliant.) --Brett Glass ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: DST on very old FreeBSD system
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: I've been asked to update a very old FreeBSD system -- an embedded system that's chugging along happily on FreeBSD 2.2.8 -- to handle the new start and stop dates for Daylight Savings Time. I just updated my antique BSDI 4.3 systems, and it turned out to take about five minutes. See if your system has the zic time zone compiler installed, probably in /usr/sbin or some place like that. If so, pick up the new source file /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/northamerica from a current fbsd system, become superuser, and run it through zic. It should automatically install all of the updated files in the right place. If you can't find a copy of zic, you'll need to figure out whether that version of fbsd uses the old or new timezone format. The old format starts with a bunch of binary zeros, the new format with the string TZif. If it uses the new format, just copy the timezone files from any other fbsd system. If it uses the old format, drop me a line privately and I'll send you the files from a bsdi box.

Re: DST on very old FreeBSD system
John: /etc/localtime on the 2.2.8 system begins with a series of nulls, not the string TZif. However, some of our other clients have 4.x systems whose /etc/localtime files do begin with TZif. If you could send or post the files for the MST7MDT zone in both formats, it'd be a great help. It'd be nice if administrators could just download the relevant files and drop them into /etc/localtime. Perhaps someone with the power to do so could upload the zones in both formats to directories on ftp.freebsd.org, so folks could bring in the zone(s) they needed via the fetch program. --Brett Glass At 02:27 PM 3/10/2007, John Levine wrote: In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: I've been asked to update a very old FreeBSD system -- an embedded system that's chugging along happily on FreeBSD 2.2.8 -- to handle the new start and stop dates for Daylight Savings Time.

For the archive: that's not really the best answer. The timezone file contains much more than just the date that time changes this year. It also contains a history of when it changed in past years, so that file time displays and time interval calculations will be correct. The correct answer _should_ be to install the timezone file for your part of Indiana and let it do the right thing. If it is incorrect, either you need an updated TZ file, or you need to contact the maintainers of the file to get them to correct it. - Bob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just end the argument. Somehow it came about that changing to DST would save millions of dollars a year and bring in billions in additional income to the state. Not sure how, no one ever answered that question.

Please advise as to where to pursue resources on the date command, specifically, help or examples regarding setting (reinstating) daylight savings time. Man pages have been inadequate on this sub-topic, and extensive web search has provided only anecdotal information. Also, in my search I have noticed quite a bit of confusion surrounding these issues, so a reliable or authoritative source would be great.

To re-iterate. - Windows does not understand the implications of setting CMOS time to GMT. _ If you run only FreeBSD then decide if you want your system clock to repreent the time on the clock in your house, or GMT/UTC. - Choose the Time Zone you live in from the list. - If you run Windows and FreeBSD on the same machine, and want the right time on both of them, choose local time, and set the CMOS clock appropriately. I don't know about authoritative but all the machines in my network tell the right time, also when DST changes occur. You should use a Stratum 2/3 time server via ntp to keep your time upto date if you worry about the odd second or two (CMOS clocks are notoriously bad at keeping the time).
