I "strongly suspect" that your machine is set to a time zone four hours earlier than Universal. [like mine...] If so, it would be a guess that the problem is the lack of visibility of /etc/localtime within the chroot. You could probably link such a file into the chroot environment(s) and solve the problem that way. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FTP timestamp problem with ftpchroot
Hi, I've searched the FreeBSD support pages and googled with no solution to the problem I am having. When we FTP into our machine the timestamps for all the files seen are 4 hours later than if you ssh into the machine and look at those same files. The time is correct. I verified it with the date command, BIOS is also correct. I also know this is somehow caused by chroot. I have an /etc/ftpchroot file enabled to keep ftp users in their own directories. If I remove this file then the 4 hour time difference goes away and your able to see the proper times when viewing via FTP. Note that this system does not have anonymous ftp enabled. I'm also having the problem with both FreeBSD i386 6.1 & 6.2. Is this a bug? Maybe I'm just missing a setting or configuration somewhere. If anyone has run across this before and knows how to fix the problem I would greatly appreciate it. Should I just give up on the FreeBSD ftpd and install a 3rd party FTP server? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
