Summary:	/etc/init.d/clock (sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.8) doing weird things w/ UTC again

Description P Nienaber 2004-12-21 13:43:24 UTC

[0][phox@box ~ ]$ fgrep CLOCK= /etc/conf.d/clock
CLOCK="UTC"

Across reboots UTC is not properly coordinated.  Rebooting results in a correct value for UTC being reported as locally correct time e.g.:

[0][phox@box ~ ]$ date
Tue Dec 21 05:38:53 PST 2004

when in fact it's 13:38:53 PST.  Strangely enough, I can't make it do this twice, i.e. offset by 16 hours instead of 8.

Also tried removing /etc/adjtime before rebooting, still does the same thing.  I've had issues with that in the past in combination with similar issues with the clock script.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. C-A-D (shutdown -r now)
2. wait
3.

Actual Results:  
`date` prints UTC value as being correct for local timezone.

Expected Results:  
local time correctly reported

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev

and have you tried setting CLOCK_SYSTOHC=yes ?

the clock behavior hasnt changed from 1.11.7 to 1.11.8 except to add back in support for /etc/rc.conf (make sure you're not setting CLOCK in there too)

Comment 2 P Nienaber 2004-12-21 18:23:08 UTC

Same thing was happening w/ .7

I'll try the suggested setting.

I only have UTC being set in /etc/conf.d/clock

Comment 3 P Nienaber 2004-12-21 18:28:05 UTC

Appears non-reproduceable w/ new setting.  Will reopen if it breaks again. TY.
