It shouldn't be a symbolic link, it should be a file. How did it get created in your case? After some more investigation I found out that it's redhat-config-time that creates the symlink. So that's the culprit. Should refile another bug report against that? Tobias. Nah, I can just assign it to redhat-config-date. Looks like a dupe of bug #91228. A fix is available in Rawhide. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 91228 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0-10; Linux) Description of problem: I have /usr on it's own partition and my hardware clock is set to the local time. When booting, rc.sysinit syncs the system clock to the hardware clock before /usr is mounted. hwclock uses the file /etc/localtime to determine what timezone I'm in. This is a symbolic link to somewhere under /usr. Because /usr is not mounted yet the link is broken and UTC is assumed. As a result my clock is off. Copying the file from /usr/... to /etc/localtime fixes the problem. Tobias Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): red hat 9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See description 2. 3. Actual Results: The clock is off Additional info:
