What is the diff between /etc/adjtime LOCAL and dpkg-reconfigure tzdata?
How does /etc/adjtime know what local time to use?
my time is set to my local time using dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and my /etc/adjtime is set to UTC
I also have /etc/timezone with my local time settings
nice find by the way CwF !
NTP daemon will sync the hwclock to the ntp servers time automagically
although it will not change timezone settings
ntpdate is a debain script to sync to debian ntp servers
but must be run manually every once in a while using
Code: Select all
/usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian
