By the way, if you set the cmos clock to "local", openSUSE will refuse to do the yearly summer/winter change, and other adjustments to the cmos clock (aka bios clock, aka "hardware clock).
Huh? Since when? I have never had my CMOS clock running UTC - always local - and the winter/summer time change happens automatically on the correct date/time every October and April.
A message when installing, I think, says so. It appeared with 12.3, I think. Here is one (/etc/sysconfig/clock): ## Description: Correct systematic drift of the HW clock ## Type: list(yes,no,) # # Add or subtract time from the Hardware Clock to account for # systematic drift since the last time the clock was set or # adjusted. By default off as this can cause trouble. For # systems using localtime for HW clock this will ignored. # USE_ADJUST="no" But there are more.
Quite frankly, I've never had an adequate explanation of why it would be more desirable to run the hardware clock at UTC.
I have, many times, so I will not repeat them :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
