English (Castellano)

Replace it with the date you want for something immediate. (escribilo en la consola si querés cambiar la hora de inmediato)

You could also try (también podés tratar):

Code:

chmod 644 /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd

or

Code:

chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd

which is pretty much the same (es lo mismo).

As root:

Code:

pkgtool

Choose "Setup", then "services" (you might need to scroll down), then select/deselect the services you want.

You could also comment them out in your rc init scripts, but do it only if you really know what you're doing. In the end, you will do it anyway

mmm......

in spanish

no es lo q necesito eso, el demonio lo tengo andando
el problema es q con ntp no puedo poner la hora como corresponde, por que aca la presidente eligio no usar el dst.
me aparece una hora adelantado el reloj... justamente coincidio con el cambio del dst, el 18 de octubre.
Ademas, quiero dejar andando ntpd, si no queda alternativa lo saco

Hi

Are you using UTC or localtime?

What is the output of this?

Code:

cat /etc/hardwareclock

It might just work if you use UTC, which you can set by using timeconfig.

i got localtime

ntp has nothing to do with daylight savings time. You need an updated timezone database (that is, a localtime file) which tells your system how to translate UTC into your local time, taking DST into account.
