Re: set (local)timeto Germany/Berlin

["Manfred Gloiber" <illtis@illtis.dyndns.org>]

Hello,

It really seems to be too late for you ... at least to your reading skills
at this time ;-)

There is an example in the afterboot man page:

Set the time zone to Atlantic Standard Time:
           # ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Atlantic /etc/localtime

So for Germany/Berlin simply symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin:

           # ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime


Good n8
- Manfred

Subject: set (local)timeto Germany/Berlin

I think I'm too stupid to set the localtime for my Timezone
(Germany/Berlin).

Someone told me to use ntpdate.
I used it but the time is still incorrect.

# ./ntpdate -b time.fu-berlin.de
Looking for host time.fu-berlin.de and service 123
host found : chronos.zedat.fu-berlin.de
28 Sep 22:15:34 ntpdate[4301]: step time server 130.133.1.10 offset 0.976072
sec
# date
Sun Sep 28 22:15:39 GMT 2003

At this moment you've to add 2 hours.
How could I easy syncronize my HW-Clock and the Softwareclock in OpenBSD?

Thanks (and yes I've looked in afterboot but maybe it's too late now (so
good night :o) )) for any help.
