Daylight savings problem

bogus · #1 5th April 2005, 04:17 AM

I was wondering if anyone out there has had a problem the Fedora (core 3) not switching with the daylight savings time?
I went onto Google and did some searching was not able to turn anything up. Any clues out there?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Mine changed fine. Enter the following as root and check your settings:

Code:

# system-config-date

You must have the hardware/BIOS clock set in UTC for automatic DST switching. If your BIOS clock is in local time, you need to set the clock manually to daylight saving time.

I use the network time protocol to automatically sync set my clock. You can do to.

Open system-config-date, switch to the Network Time Protocol tab, click to enable it and choose an ntp-server from the list or enter your own.

Once this is set, you can enable the NTP service in the system-config-services to have it synced at boot time. This way you can be sure that your time is always as close to correct as possible.

ty, all. I will go ahead and set it through the network time protocol.

If anyone should find something else, please feel free to drop a note.

How & where do I check/change this setting?

Will this work with Fedora core 2? I am a bit confused on how this will 'magically' work. Especially since I run a calendaring program on Linus.
