What does your /etc/sysconfig/clock say? What is /etc/localtime? /etc/localtime is a link to -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Detroit and /etc/sysconfig/clock is ZONE="America/Detroit" UTC=false ARC=false Is /usr a separate filesystem? If so, make sure /etc/localtime is a copy, and not a symlink. You ought to put this on the RHCE exam :) That fixed it. The obvoius question, why does a link get made to a filesystem not availabe when the system syncs the clocks? If it matters, I upgraded from RH8, but I think that was a clean install. If not, 7.3 before that was the clean install. I don't think I could have copied an old localtime from anywhere. AFAIK, this is the result of just regular installation/upgrade and setting the time with the provided tools. I'd be happy to provide more info if this seems to be some rare condition on my system. Anyway, thank you very much. I can start growing my hair back. It's a bug in redhat-config-date, I believe. This is a dupe of bug #91228. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 91228 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
