Re: Problem with Debian Etch and NTP


Hi, Chris

before changing UTC to "no" in /etc/default/rcS, these are the outputs you have requested:

(By the way, I guess "--noadjtime" is just a typo and it should be "--noadjfile")

date
thu apr 10 10.50:32 CEST 2008

date -u
thu apr 10 8:50:34 UTC 2008

hwclock --directisa --show --noadjfile --localtime
thu apr 10 8:50:40 CEST -0.801098 seconds

hwclock --directisa --show --noadjfile --utc
thu apr 10 10:50:44 CEST -0.445415 seconds


Best regards.
Àngel.

I have changed /etc/default/rcS in this way:

1. Changed UTC=no
2. Added HWCLOCKPARS=--directisa

Then I have rebooted the laptop, and then on a shell I have typed the command you listed me. These are the outcomes:

date:
thu apr 10 11:19:46 CEST 2008

date -u:
thu apr 10 09:19:49 UTC 2008

hwclock --directisa --show --noadjfile --localtime
thu 10 apr 2008 11:20:09 CEST -0.373740 seconds

hwclock --directisa --show --noadjfile --utc
thu 10 apr 2008 13:20:13 CEST -0.289772 seconds

Best regards.
Àngel.
