I setup to the timezone, date and time. And now I want to add synchronize time with the time-server. I want to change with daylight savings/summer time.
2009/5/8, lists-centos replies-lists-a2z2-centos@listmail.innovate.net:
is this the first time you've run ntpdate (or equiv) in a bit over a month?
"london" goes on "summer time" toward the end of march, so switches to gmt+1 at that point, so it would be 22:nn now in "london time", while it's 21:nn GMT.
if you want your machine to not change with daylight savings/summer time you need to select GMT or UTC, rather than a country-specific timezone.

Hi
CentOS 5.3 with latest updates.
I have a problem with the time zone on dedicated server. I had to setup the timezone using system-config-date to "Europe/London" and "System clock uses UTC" == checked
# date; date -u; hwclock --show; hwclock --show --utc; zdump # /etc/localtime Thu May 7 21:29:47 GMT 2009 Thu May 7 21:29:47 UTC 2009 Thu 07 May 2009 09:29:48 PM GMT -0.411568 seconds Thu 07 May 2009 09:29:49 PM GMT -0.997482 seconds /etc/localtime Thu May 7 21:29:48 2009 GMT
# cat /etc/sysconfig/clock ZONE="Europe/London" UTC=true ARC=false
# cat /etc/adjtime -3525.635197 1241730131 0.000000 1241730131 UTC
# strings /etc/localtime TZif2 TZif2 GMT0
# ntpdate -q 0.centos.pool.ntp.org 7 May 21:14:51 ntpdate[12689]: step time server 195.42.115.77 offset -3638.766689 sec
Why -3638 sec ?
thanks.
