I'm in toronto. Eastern Standard time. I use netdate linux to sync my
clock. I use:
/usr/sbin/netdate -l 2 localhost 193.67.79.202 216.46.5.9
This was working fine until last week when the DST changed. Now it
It is NOT the servers. It is your /etc/localtime file. You are running a
very very old version of Linux.
Linux runs the system clock on UTC and gets UTC from the timeservers.
It then adds an appropriate amount according to the /etc/localtime file
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2008a.tar.gz
mkdir /tmp/tz
cd /tmp/tz
tar -xzf /localation/of/tzdata2008a.tar.gz
As root
zic northamerica
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Toronto /etc/localtime
chmod a+r /etc/localtime
and now your time will be fine.
reports one hour behind. Every name server does this. For example:
localhost +0.000 Thu Mar 13 19:17:51.519
193.67.79.202 -0.669 Thu Mar 13 19:17:51.000
216.46.5.9 -0.718 Thu Mar 13 19:17:51.000
Local host firewall has best time, so not setting date
localhost +0.000 Thu Mar 13 19:17:51.718
But its 20:17 right now in EST.
How do I fix this? Is this a setting that netdate needs to accurately
specify EST? or are all these time servers screwed? where on slackware
10 can I specify EST in my /etc. Everything was fine until recently
(sunday march 9 I think).
Thanks..
