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 been. I removed it and symlinked it instead thinking it might change things - it didn't.
Right now, 'date' tells me:
[1] 13:21:12 <root@bigbertha:~> date Sat Apr 14 13:21:13 MDT 2007But it's actually 19:21...
So, uh, what's going on? Why is the time so off? Under CentOS 4, the time was just fine. Something happened in 5.
It seems like you selected "BIOS time is UTC", or something like it.
Change UTC to false on /etc/sysconfig/clock, set the clock manually (with "date"), then write to bios (hwclock --systohc).
