<snip>
I´m using "ntp-4.1.1" and writing from "/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo" with "UTC=true" in /etc/sysconfig/clock file.
This could be the result of the string "UTC=true". Essentially, the time will be set to UTC, despite the local timezone setting. If you want local time, perhaps a change to "UTC=false" may fix the problem.
Everything looks OK but the sensors stay 2 hours in advance. I already read the NTP manual but I still can´t figure out what is happen.
BRST = UTC - 3 (BRazil Std Time equals Coordinated Universal Time minus Three) The Time Zone map posted at the US Naval Observatory refers: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/world_tzones.html Note: BRST = Time zone "P" UTC = Time zone "Z" BTW, if I'm correct, it would appear that your sensors should be THREE hours ahead, vice TWO. (Perhaps your system is being forced to observe Daylight Savings Time (DST)?)
Anyone could help please? Thanks, Bruno.
I hope this does! Alex Arndt, GCIA "Within all order is the potential for chaos..."
