My new install of Debian 4.0 seems to have the wrong time, it says right now:
Tue Aug 12 09:42:34 UTC 2008
but the correct time is:
Tue Aug 12 05:42:00 EST 2008
How can I set this? I want it set once and for all so even after
server reboot it shall still be correct.
I used the debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso from July 30th and although I said *not* to set my clock to UTC, it did anyway.
Ron Johnson (again!) asked the right question: why do you have EST and not EDT?
Anyway, I ended up with the hwclock set to UTC. If I did:
hwclock --set --date="mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss"
hwclock -s
hwclock --localtime
the next boot ended up alright. My timezone was already set correctly.
Using debian-40r4-i386-netinst.iso after that did *not* make the same mistake and kept the clock set to localtime.
I set the clock to local time because with VMware I boot M$ XP, which isn't too smart about those kind of things.
