No, that one gets fixed by timeconfig. I've got some extracts from
/var/log/messages that say where things go wrong. Unfortunately that
doesn't tell me what to fix.
The first set comes from bootup:
Nov 23 05:33:21 collatz atd: atd startup succeeded
Nov 23 07:33:06 collatz rc.sysinit: Loading default keymap succeeded
Nov 23 07:33:06 collatz rc.sysinit: Setting default font succeeded
...
Nov 23 07:33:14 collatz fsck: /dev/hda6: clean, 9181/132600 files, 113856/529168
blocks
Nov 23 07:33:14 collatz rc.sysinit: Checking filesystems succeeded
Nov 23 07:33:16 collatz rc.sysinit: Mounting local filesystems succeeded
Nov 23 07:33:16 collatz rc.sysinit: Turning on user and group quotas for local f
ilesystems succeeded
Nov 23 05:33:19 collatz date: Tue Nov 23 05:33:19 SAST 1999
Nov 23 05:33:19 collatz rc.sysinit: Setting clock : Tue Nov 23 05:33:19 SAST 199
9 succeeded
Nov 23 05:33:19 collatz rc.sysinit: Enabling swap space succeeded
Nov 23 05:33:19 collatz init: Entering runlevel: 3
So when atd starts, it gets information that time is GMT and resets system
time. Then it stays there for a while, until rc.sysinit obviously working
off /etc/sysconfig/clock as it should, sets the clock back to the hardware
reading.
The next extract comes from a point when apmd made my screen go blank:
Nov 23 09:37:16 collatz PAM_pwdb[285]: (login) session opened for user dirk by (
uid=0)
Nov 23 12:47:28 collatz apmd[122]: Resume after 02:16:53 (65% unknown)
Nov 23 13:01:19 collatz sudo: dirk : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/dirk/kantoor/navo
rs/artikels/gauss-survey ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/hwclock --hctosys
Nov 23 11:02:26 collatz sudo: dirk : TTY=tty1 ; PWD=/home/dirk/kantoor/navor
s/artikels/gauss-survey ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/less /var/log/messages
I had been working for about an hour and then went for tea. Coming back,
I reactivated the screen, discovered that GMT had reasserted itself, and
manually reset the system clock.
These two-hour jumps to and fro can't be good for the integrity of the
system.
IMHO the above behaviour is a bug, caused by some old code somewhere
that dates back to the days before we had /etc/sysconfig. But where
does that code get its information?
