similar to: UTC timezone not available in RHEL4

(I reported the test failure mentioned below to R-help but was advised that this list is the right one to address the issue; in the meantime I investigated the matter somewhat more closely, including searching recent R-devel postings, since I haven't been following this list.) Last May there were two reports here of problems with Sys.timezone, one where the zoneinfo directory is in a

One problem with the daylight savings is that they mess with reporting tools that use timestamps. I guess an application could be configured to log UTC instead of local time, but that's not always doable. Also, if you have servers in several different timezones, it's better if all systems follow the same clock. So, I'm thinking it's perhaps better if I just use

Hello, I have a problem configuring the timezone on a CentOS 5.5 server. I would like the timezone to be Europe/Paris. I have followed the steps described here: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-the-Timezone-in-Linux I think I have changed the appropriate configuration files ( /etc/localtime, /etc/sysconfig/clock ), but the output of the ?date? command still indicates the timezone is EST. [root

Hello Everyone, The timezone is set correctly on the OS America/Toronto: mv /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.bak cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Toronto /etc/localtime I even tried adding the timezone setting to sip.conf: timezone=America/Toronto However. Asterisk wants to be in Bucharest? Thinking about it, I want to be in Bucharest! Cheers, Nick.

Hello, I've purchased a new dedicated CentOS 6.0 / 64 bit server and have 2 minor problems please: 1) The "hostname" is reported as CentOS-60-64-minimal at CLI - eventhough I've edited /etc/hosts and changed the 2nd line: 127.0.0.1 localhost 176.9.123.123 preferans 2) Why is /etc/localtime a regular file? Should I maybe rm /etc/localtime ln -s

hey list! having a slightly odd time issue on one host... can I get some help with this? This is the current time from a working system: Sun Apr 17 00:28:18 EDT 2011 However from the problem system this is the time: Sat Apr 16 20:30:01 EDT 2011 I have set the time zone as such: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Apr 16 19:41 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST But when I run ntpdate

Which is why I always symlink /etc/localtime Not only does it solve these issues, but it makes it very clear which timezone is selected! -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Aleksandar Milivojevic Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 2:45 PM To: centos at centos.org Subject: Re: [CentOS] New Standard/Daylight time-change

I tried several ways of telling the lda or whatever is setting up the INTERNALDATE to use the CEST +0200. Although it is already setup on the server via a symlink from /etc/localtime to

Hi there, Maybe another bug? I have the following in site.pp: $localtime = $domain ? { "example.org" => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid", default => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Madrid" } If I take this away and put it in another file, and then import that file, I get the following error: err: Cannot reassign variable localtime in file

Help Andrew! and whoever else.. I have a Linux Mandrake 7.2 box with Samba 2.07 acting as a timeserver for our local lan. We are in the CST timezone. All windows boxes sync thier time from the Linux box via: net time \\Nemesis /set /yes. I would like to have xntp keep the clock on the server updated. Problem: ntpdate and xntp work great at setting the Linux box hardware clock to GMT. The

Apologies for being late to the party with this... I finally found my old notes on this re: helping out a blind friend fix his centos box... log in as root cd /usr/share/timezone cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/ cp Los_Angeles /etc/localtime /usr/bin/rdate -s time.nist.gov /sbin/hwclock --systohc For more details, go to http://wiki.ehow.com/Change-the-Timezone-in-Linux - rh -- Robert

I see in CentOS 7 that /etc/localtime is a symlink (which seems sensible...) but in earlier versions it is a copy of some file from under /usr/share/zoneinfo. rpm -q --scripts tzdata does not show any postinstall script, so in the non-symlink versions, how does the copied /etc/localtime file get updated with new zone data? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Hi list I always configure my systems to use our local time (in my case /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Zurich) and disable UTC. What are the differences between UTC and local time? What are their respective advantages and disadvantages? When to use UTC? cheers Simon -- XMPP: sjolle at swissjabber.org

Hi guys, I've run into an odd little problem. We use SquirrelMail as the basis for our webmail. Recently I've had a user complaining that the "Received" time on mail in the Sent folder has changed between logins. The change is always been by +1 hours or -5 hours. While checking, our developer had a time changed by +2 hours. On refresh it changed back. He poked through the code

I have a couple questions... I am in Indiana and our time zone is changing. I used to choose America/Indiana/Indianapolis as the zone and we are changing to Eastern. Question 1) Is there a command line only way to change my timezone? I dont have access to X to run system-config-time. Doing a "system-config-time --help" or "system-config-time -h" did not give any information.

Hello, I'm having a major problem with the timestamps in both the Icecast access.log and error.log. The timestamp on the logfiles themselves is accurate, but the logging of the various connections to my streams is in UTC. No matter how I try to configure the hwclock or the system clock, the log timestamp is always UTC, which is 8 hours ahead of my current time zone. I've even tried
