However I have an other question :-(
how is managed the "summer time" offset?
I mean the hwclock is one hour back the date time. according to yast it's setup as local time.
so is this hw time normal given we are now on summer time?
I don't find the answer in the hwclock man page
No, because it is assumed you use UTC time. Why are you using local time on a 24*7 server? Local time is of use only when you double boot with Windows. The handling of local time in the bios clock is complex. Basically it should be copied from the system clock periodically, so when the summer time change comes, it is changed too - I suppose, I haven't studied that. The complexity is when booting up is calculating the corresponding UTC time and setting the clock, and not making errors when multiple systems are in play, or with a laptop on the move crossing time zones. For your case, it is safer to use UTC. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
