The following issues were found with time tool (a graphical user interface for setting the current date and time on a system): 1.) When attempting to set the date to a date that lies between Feb. 2-29 of a leap year the following error occurs: ERROR: SYNTAX ERROR IN EXPRESSION "2000 /" note: the system time can still be set and appears to function correctly. 2.) We set the date and time to 11:55p.m. on Dec. 31, 1999. We then shutdown the machine. When we turned on the machine 10 minutes later. The time now read 6:04 a.m. of Jan 1, 2000. A difference of approximately 6 hours. note: if the Linux OS is not shutdown from Dec. 31, 1999, to Jan 1, 2000, the time change carries over correctly. This error also occured when going from the year 2000 to 2001 and 2001 to 2002. No other years were tested.
The system time zone is CST6CDT, which may help to explain the 6 hour clock advance.
First is fixed in timetool-2.7.1 (there was a typo...)
