The NTP server was set from the dhclient scripts, the timezone should probably be set from there as well. Changing component, marking as enhancement. This bug is fixed in Rawhide (dhcp-3.0.3-7+) and FC-4 (dhcp-3.0.2-22+) . IF you supply the option DHCP_TIME_OFFSET_SETS_TIMEZONE=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network or in a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* script, THEN the dhclient script WILL make /etc/localtime a copy of the /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT{-,+}$offset file. ie. if your dhcp server gives a client a time-offset option of -18000 (EDT), then dhclient-script sets the timezone to 'GMT+5' (+-ve hours west of GMT). The dhcp server must take account of DST changes in the time-offset value it supplies to clients, since the GMT* zones have no DST info. |
