 Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 7:02 pm Post subject: Need to update /etc/{init.d, conf.d} warning message[solved] |
 |
|
I'm getting this warning every so often when working in the console. I've ran etc-update and nothing needs to be updated.
| Code: | | One of the files in /etc/{conf.d,init.d} or /etc/rc.conf has modification time in the future! |
So annoying. When I boot my computer up, I'm seeing that warning after EACH line. Also I can't seem to get my clock set correctly. I want to use the America/New_York time. Any help with these two problems would be great!

See ntp on gentoo wiki.
As for using America/New_York - what's stopping you? Set TIMEZONE in /etc/conf.d/clock
Use a descriptive subject - I would normally skip over such stupidly generic, childish subjects.

What is your hardware clock set to? UTC or your local time?

Does this yield any output:
| Code: |
find /etc/{conf.d,init.d} /etc/rc.conf -mtime -0
|
If so those files have mtimes in the future and you should "touch" them. |

Thanks for the quick responses. And the references I'll be more descriptive next time.
Yes. UTC time. |

You can request more descriptive subjects without the supercilious editorializing, you know. How about this:
otisranson, a lot of people tend to skip over generic subjects like that. Use something more descriptive, and you'll probably get a much better response.

Then you probably need to sync your hardware clock to system time. In /etc/conf.d/clock:
| Code: |
CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes"
|
These two commands should result in the same time:
If not run
| Code: |
hwclock --systohc --utc
|
and set up NTP as well.
Maybe your hw clock doesn't work. Maybe you boot into windows and it trounces your hw clock. |
