Description of problem: Machine was running RH8.0 with correct time (hardware clock and software clock) Ran install of RH9 and selected my local timezone Sydney/Australia After install completes the date/time of some of the top level directories are in the future as are some files in /etc/mail (sendmail startup gives a message about this) This has occurred on earlier versions of RH also with many different computers (and always happens) but this is the first time I have checked all the dates/times before and after the install. My timezone is +1000 The time in the future appears to be about 11 hours (i.e. 11 hours in the future from around the time the install started) however during daylight savings my timeszone is +1100 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Install 2. Note Time packages start being copied to disk 3. use date and ls on / and /etc/mail after first boot Actual results: I have removed the uid and filesize to make the 'ls' output smaller $ date Fri Jun 13 21:35:48 EST 2003 $ ls -ort --full-time / total 193 drwxr-xr-x 2 2003-01-25 10:52:28.000000000 +1100 opt drwxr-xr-x 2 2003-01-25 10:52:28.000000000 +1100 initrd drwxr-xr-x 2 2003-01-25 10:52:28.000000000 +1100 home drwxr-xr-x 2 2003-01-28 15:22:54.000000000 +1100 misc drwxr-xr-x 4 2003-06-13 21:29:08.000000000 +1000 mnt drwxr-xr-x 43 2003-06-13 21:29:10.000000000 +1000 etc drwxrwxrwt 2 2003-06-13 21:30:44.000000000 +1000 tmp drwxr-xr-x 20 2003-06-13 21:30:48.000000000 +1000 dev drwx------ 2 2003-06-14 05:18:30.000000000 +1000 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 15 2003-06-14 05:32:24.000000000 +1000 usr drwxr-xr-x 4 2003-06-14 05:41:38.000000000 +1000 boot drwxr-xr-x 2 2003-06-14 05:53:38.000000000 +1000 sbin drwxr-xr-x 18 2003-06-14 05:54:19.000000000 +1000 var drwxr-xr-x 7 2003-06-14 06:58:51.000000000 +1000 lib drwxr-xr-x 2 2003-06-14 06:59:19.000000000 +1000 bin drwxr-x--- 3 2003-06-14 07:26:47.000000000 +1000 root dr-xr-xr-x 43 2003-06-14 07:28:17.000000000 +1000 proc $ ls -ort --full-time /etc/mail total 216 -rw------- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:54.000000000 +1100 statistics -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:54.000000000 +1100 helpfile -r--r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:55.000000000 +1100 submit.cf.bak -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:55.000000000 +1100 sendmail.mc -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:56.000000000 +1100 virtusertable -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:56.000000000 +1100 trusted-users -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:56.000000000 +1100 submit.mc -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:56.000000000 +1100 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:56.000000000 +1100 mailertable -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:56.000000000 +1100 local-host-names -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:56.000000000 +1100 domaintable -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-02-25 11:15:56.000000000 +1100 access -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-06-13 21:30:45.000000000 +1000 submit.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 2003-06-14 05:50:46.000000000 +1000 sendmail.cf -rw-r----- 1 2003-06-14 05:50:47.000000000 +1000 virtusertable.db -rw-r----- 1 2003-06-14 05:50:49.000000000 +1000 access.db -rw-r----- 1 2003-06-14 05:50:50.000000000 +1000 domaintable.db -rw-r----- 1 2003-06-14 05:50:51.000000000 +1000 mailertable.db Expected results: All of the future dated files should be in the past at the time of the 'ls' command Additional info:
