i've been having issues with my time for a while; i've tried enough things that i'm not sure what's been done now. i thought i had it figured out, but i'm still running into trouble with the timestamps on my logs, and especially my cron files. my bios clock is set to UTC (i've tried it both ways), and TZ=Americas/Chicago. /etc/default/rcS has UTC=yes (also tried both ways).
Code:
x@ubuntu:~$ date
Thu Dec 7 17:56:11 CST 2006
x@ubuntu:~$ hwclock
Thu 07 Dec 2006 05:56:17 PM CST -0.777810 seconds
x@ubuntu:~$ echo $TZ
America/Chicago
x@ubuntu:~$ touch test; ls -al test
-rw-r--r-- 1 x x 0 2006-12-07 17:56 test
everything seems to be working correctly, but the time in my logs and my cron files are still following UTC. this is driving me nuts. any ideas? same results as root, btw.
