Feature changed by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #312407, revision 3 Title: switch off boot.clock openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: - Nowadays the timezone and a potential local/utc offset are applied in - the initrd already. The only task left for boot.clock is to adjust the - clock drift. That's a rather advanced feature not known nor appreciated - by the standard auto logging in user. Network installs have ntp enabled - anyways. Therefore boot.clock should be switched off by default to have - one less script to execute. Anyone who needs the clock drift feature - can insserv boot.clock manually. + Nowadays the kernel sets the system time from rtc and a potential + local/utc offset is applied in the initrd already.
