I guess /etc/adjtime isnt needed when you use NTP (the default).
Yes, you need it, because some other system script check for it and fail. It is the reason behind the problem of "local" hot holding in yast.
Hmm, not sure I understand - when you're using NTP, your time is running in UTC. A new 12.2 system doesn't have /etc/adjtime, like I described yesterday. I see no complaints in the logs. Anyway, it's not important, I was just curious.
There are reports of problems when that file is missing. There shouldn't be problems, but there are. I don't have the bug reference where they talk about why not create adjtime if time is local, and why it is seen that the file is needed.
On a newly upgraded 12.2 server, I saw this message in the log:
ntp[3579]: hwclock: With --noadjfile, you must specify either --utc or --localtime
At this point, /etc/adjtime _did_ exist. Then I deleted it, and rebooted, same message.
I think that init-script needs a closer look.
Do not use --noadjfile
Which is exactly what /etc/init.d/ntp does. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.3°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
