Lee: I got caught with incorrect time last Friday by Guenther. I think I have solved it (MDK9.2) There seems to be a bug in the MDK config tool. The main problem is that (I think it is, I did not spend the time to do further research) in /etc/ should be a file called localtime. In reality there is a directory there with the same name. Rename this directory to something else, same localtimeold. Make a link /usr/share/zoneinfo/whateveryourtimezone to /etc/localtime edit your /etc/sysconfig/clock manually so it shows UTC=true ZONE=America/Phoenix ARC=false Adjust ZONE=America/Phoenix to your timezone Adjust the time in MCC, but not timezone Restart your ntpd after (or restart your computer). If you didn't restart your computer, log out and in again to get the correct time on your clock. If you do "ntptime" as root , no errors should show up and "date" should show the correct time and the correct timezone. Good luck Tom On Mon, 2003-11-24 at 07:14, J. Lee Dixon wrote:
Regarding your time issue, I have seen some very funny things happen on my RedHat7.3 box, so perhaps this is something you can look for: I found that after certain editing of my date/time (not sure the exact step), the timezone file for my timezone gets corrupted, actually ends up being empty. For example, I am in the eastern US, so I looked at my /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York and found it to be empty. Another sympton was issuing a "date" command at the prompt would show my current local time, but then issuing a "date --utc", which should give UTC time, would give the exact same time. To fix the problem, I had to get a copy of the corrupted file from another computer. Hope this helps, Lee On Tue, 2003-11-18 at 11:59, Ron Wilson wrote:I have a date time problem in Evolution. All my outwards messages are being shown in sent folder as 13 hours ahead of actual time. If I send a message at 5PM it shows in box tomorrow at 5AM. I have tried upgrading to 1.4.5 but that did not fix. Any suggestions. I am using Mandrake 9.2 with a time zone of PAcfic/Auckland which should be 11 hours ahead of GMT _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution lists ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
