Time auto modified at RHEL server
| Posted by sh4ka, 03-17-2008, 05:42 PM |
| Hello,
I have a problem with time at one RHEL 4 server, it is a plain box, and from time to time the time (hours) seems to be auto modified, no one is touching the box and then from once it got modified to a few hours less than what we specified, to change time and date we always use:
The only thing that I noted is that ntpd daemon was running, while in the rest of our plain box it is not running, maybe this is the reason the system is auto chaning the time?
Thanks.

| ntpd may be setting the time to what is relative to settings in /etc/sysconfig/clock. Double check the settings in this file. If you are setting the hardware clock to the same real time you will probably want UTC set to false and make sure the time zone is correct.

| I got this at that file:
ZONE="US/Central"
UTC=false
ARC=false
What zone code should I use to specify Madrid, SPAIN time zone ?
Thanks.
