Agh. It seems my box gets confused between its CMOS (motherboard
battery-preserved date and time) and the OS's time/adjkerntz/timezone/timed/ntpdate/etc/etc/rc.conf!
>:-(
{Well, according to my box it is 22:20 PDT, whereas it is really 23:20 as I
write this sentence.}
prompt$ grep -i time /etc/rc.conf
### Important initial Boot-time options ####################
tcp_keepalive="YES" # Enable stale TCP connection timeout (or NO).
nfs_access_cache="2" # Client cache timeout in seconds
### Network Time Services options: ###
timed_enable="NO" # Run the time daemon (or NO).
timed_flags="" # Flags to timed (if enabled).
ntpdate_enable="YES" # Run ntpdate to sync time on boot (or NO).
xntpd_enable="NO" # Run ntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO).
nis_ypset_enable="NO" # Run ypset at boot time (or NO).
nis_ypxfrd_enable="NO" # Run rpc.ypxfrd at boot time (or NO).
nis_yppasswdd_enable="NO" # Run rpc.yppasswdd at boot time (or NO).
blanktime="300" # blank time (in seconds) or "NO" to turn it off.
Is there an all-in-one-peace-of-mind daemon to run to guarantee the
correct, accurate time? Actually, are there two daemons to run -- so that
the box knows its GMT offset *and* the current time in GMT from a time
server?
Thanks all, from Peter, at 22:22 PDT, oops, 23:22 PDT
PS. FWIW, I think 'daylight-savings' should've ENDED after Y2K, dumb govt!
