Unless you are in a business, where time of messages is important, what difference does it make if the time change is out of sync? I'd fix mine, if someone would say "YaST this" for 9.3 So somebody tell me, Yast (timefix). But i really don't care if it's fixed. The clock is a few minutes off now, who cares if it's off an hour? Am I missing something? Hmm, ntp service is free, and the software ships with suse. Why would any linux user settle for having the wrong time on their system?
In any case, whenever I'm looking at the logs, I find it pretty important to know what time something happened. Not approximately. Exactly.
The ntp service is not affected by the daylight time saving adjustement, nor by it being correct or incorrect, because ntp uses UTC, which does not vary summer or winter.
Nor will using an ntp client correct the daylight time saving adjustement when the time comes.
But it would correct the OP's condition, that of his system time being "a few minutes off". Nothing more was implied. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
