https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197313 Bug ID: 197313 Summary: tzsetup(8): -C option displays UTC message to user Product: Base System Version: 10.1-RELEASE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: nick.frampton@akips.com When no zoneinfo data is present on the running system, but is present in a chroot environment, tzsetup -C incorrectly displays the message "Does the abbreviation 'UTC' look reasonable?" regardless of the time zone selected. tzsetup does not do a chroot(2) system call. Instead, it simulates the effect by prefixing all paths with the chroot environment. The problem is that when tzsetup is going to verify your configuration, it would use tzset(3), which does not respect the simulated chroot effect. When no zoneinfo data is present, everything would be considered as UTC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
