similar to: Set hardware clock manually

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

Does any know of a way to sync the hardware clock without a reboot?

Is there a package to do this? Normally the hardware clock is set during shutdown if one is running ntpd. But if a long-running server shuts down unexpectedly, this isn't done, and the hardware clock might be off by a lot when it comes back up. So setting it periodically from a cron job could be useful. What do others do? Adding a one liner to /etc/cron.daily that invokes

Hi. I run peridocally (from cron) on all of my machines 30 * * * * root /sbin/hwclock --systohc All of those machines in question take their time via NTP from the same local server, and that server gets its time from a ntp pool. Now I had to reboot a couple of them two days ago and to my surprise all had problems with the time upon booting. Here are the important files: [root at XXXXXX ~]

Hi, We have a little over 100 servers, almost all running CentOS 5.7. Virtually all are Dell servers, generally a mix of 1950s, R610s, and R410s. We use NTP and/or PTP to sync their clocks. One phenomenon we've noticed is that (1) on reboot, the clocks are all greatly out of sync, and (2) if the PTP or NTP process is stopped, the clocks start drifting very quickly. If it was isolated to

Hi, I would like to sync my CentOS 6.3 hardware clock time to my NTP server's time. Can I do that without reboot the hosts? If yes, it would be great if anyone of you can provide me steps to do that. I am newbie in CentOS. Thanks, Anand Singh

Hi all, I am having an issue with some older CentOS 5.3 servers. Every time the server boots, it gives the error "Cannot access the hardware clock by any known method", and then promptly sets the time 5 hours behind the hardware clock, down to the second. After the system is up. "hwclock" works fine. hwclock --debug does not show any error at all. The hardware clock is

Hey all, I was watching some logs on a domU today and i suddenly noticed that the timestamps were off by something on the order of 47 seconds. I was surprised because *I don''t* run independent wall clocks. I checked some other domUs and the "drift" was also very close to that of the first domU. I also checked another dom0, Here the domUs were "only" out of sync by

Hi all: I joined a samba4 DC to Win2k3. After run the samba-tool domain join command, all data migrate perfectly. BUT then when I create an object into either samba4 or win2k3, these objects are not replicated to the another DC. Then, I tried to obtain a kerberos ticket (kinit) and the output is: kinit: "Clock skew too great while getting initial credentials". Then I sync both CDs

Hi all! I want to adjust the time in dom0 with a cronjob (rdate & hwclock). Will that affect my domU? Is it possible to resynchronize the time on a "xen-way"?

Hi, I have a set of servers whose system time is drifting. I am running ntp client on CentOS 5.8. My config is here -> http://fpaste.org/s55U/ Anything i am missing? Regards, Kaushal

Hi, I had the following problem today. Because of a misconfigured network switch one system suddenly didn't have any network. After a reboot (with the network still unavailable) NTPD refused to start. Most likely because the initial ntpdate failed to work. I find this troubling, because when the network was restored, NTPD could have resumed working (like I'd expect from a true

I installed CentOS 5 on a server today (wiping clean the drive which had 4.4 on it). During installation I picked the correct timezone, location and all. Yet, upon booting the machine, it seems to think that it's 6 hours earlier than it really is. The BIOS has the correct time and date on it. /etc/locatime was originally what /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver would've

How can I do this w/o restarting services or rebooting? Thanks! jlc

The time appears to be perfect inside dom0, however all the domU''s tend to have a slightly faster date which gets further out of sync every day. I''m currently using Xen 3.0.3 with Gentoo Linux, under 3.0.2 I had no problems with domU clocks. Are there any known issues which could cause this? I''d strongly prefer not to run ntpd in every domU, having all domU clocks in

Hey, I have rather new installation of xen, dom0 is running ntpd and is perfectly in time. All domU''s are ~23s in future. Running ntpd on the domU''s seem to have no effect, /proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock appears to have no effect. I''m running xen-unstable and 2.6.16-rc4 in AMD64 box. Any tip would be appricated.

Well I found a significant source of my problems with these decTOPs. Hardware clock is back at Jan 2006. And many things fail..... And there is no way to access the bios from a boot sequence. On the one I discovered this, I watched everything get errors during all the reboots a Trixbox install goes through. Once I was allowed to log in, I ended using date to set the system date and
