[gentoo-user] Setting up time properly? Local time zone must be set--see zic manu

[b***@charter.net]

1. check /etc/rc.conf and see what the time variable is set to UTC or Local. Set your BIOS time to whichever you are going to use.

2. If you are dual booting windows then use local and set your bios time to local as Windows isn't smart enough to figure out UTC.

3. You did make the symlink to the proper timezone per the install instructions?

There were some posts recently that said they had to set the hardware clock once /etc/rc.conf was set and the time was set.

Hey all,
I've gone over my Gentoo install quite a few times and I still can't figure
out why local time isn't properly set.
Where can I change or fix this?

Alright, I realized I had my rc.conf set to UTC... That might have caused
some problems. I've got it set to local and I'm rebooting now to see if that
solved my problem (I also redid the symlink for the timezone)

If you are dual booting windows the UTC time will be reset to local when Windows runs. However, if you are Linux only UTC should work - that's what I run.

Okay. Scared me there <G>. I'm having to use Webmail during the day and I hate it - thought it had decided to hijack a thread <G>.
