Hi everyone,
Some time ago, I installed Centos 6.7 Minimal on seven computers at the office. During the installation process, I set the timezone to "Chile/Santiago" using the installation assistant, and I disabled the use of UTC. I also configured the NTP service.
Everything worked OK for months, but last week, when I ran a certain programme in one of the computers, I did realise that there was a one hour offset in the date displayed in the programme logs. I ran the programme in the other six computers, and there was no problem regarding the date displayed.
At first I thought that maybe the system time was wrong, so I checked it, and this is what I got:
Code:
#date
Mon Jun 26 07:38:11 -04 2017
The date is right, but I'm surprised about the time zone, because it shows "-4", instead of "CLT", which is the time zone that the other computers display:
Code:
#date
Mon Jun 26 07:39:13 CLT 2017
I don't if that would be the origin of the problem (since technically CLT should be equivalent to -4), but still, I don't understand why the displayed differs. I have tried to sync the time using NTP and to update the tzdata package, but the time zone keeps the same.
Any idea about why the time zone is different?
Best regards.
