Description Jens Petersen 2002-09-03 06:21:39 EDT

Description of Problem:
When sendmail is started after a fresh install say, warning messages
appear on the console.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.12.5-7

How Reproducible:
everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. do a fresh install
2. # service sendmail restart

Actual Results:
make: *** Warning: File `sendmail.cf' has modification time in the future
(2002-09-04 01:50:59 > 2002-09-03 19:28:57)
make: warning:  Clock skew detected.  Your build may be incomplete.

Expected Results:
No warning message.

Additional Information:
Presumably there is a good reason for sendmail.cf being time stamped in the
future?  Adding a "2> /dev/null" to the make command seems a little dangerous
too, since then genuine errors and warnings will not be shown.

Comment 1 Florian La Roche 2002-12-02 16:19:17 EST

I think this is an installer issue to be resolved within anaconda. At least
discarding all error messages from "make" would be really too much.

greetings,

Florian La Roche

Fixed in CVS

Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2003-02-21 09:06:20 EST

AFAICR I'm still seeing the warnings in recent trees.

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2003-02-27 16:18:27 EST

I've been told by a few people that this looks fixed for them.  Note that we can
only do things "right" with NFS/CD installs (not enough data in the instimage
for the other install types).  Is this different than what you're seeing?

Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2003-02-27 20:16:04 EST

Hmmm, strange, I have been seeing this all along with
standard nfs installs.

My "/etc/sysconfig/clock" contains:

ZONE="Asia/Tokyo"
UTC=false
ARC=false

Does anaconda run in UTC?

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2004-04-20 08:50:00 EDT

I believe this now fixed, though I don't know how...
