Hi folks, whenever I make world, I seem to have a "time problem" which is a little disturbing. Here's what happens: When I CVSup the latest sources, build them, then build & install a new kernel, reboot with the new kernel to single user mode, and once I am in signle user mode, run "make installworld", all the files that get installed are dated one hour in the future. So, if I did this right now, at 9:42, and would then do, for exaple "ls -l /bin/ls", then I would see that ls was installed at 10:42. Now, this has caused me some small problems recently. Although the future-dated world files do work, I have had problems installing some ports until the time at which world was supposedly installed had past. In other words, after installing world, I had to wait an hour before I could do anything else related to building and installing. So, any ideas what I can do in single user mode so that FreeBSD will make sure that "make installworld" installs the world with "sane", i.e. "real" timestamps? I guess this has something to do with GMT vs. my local time (CET), but I don't know what to do about it, all I know is that if I install something in multiuser mode, the time of the installed files gets set right. This also seems to be true when I first boot to multiuser mode and then do a "shutdown now" to read single user, but it doesn't seem to work if I use "boot -s" to get right into single user mode. So, any hints anyone?
