|
'UTC' => 1, |
'ntp' => 'time-server.eastcott.net', |
'timezone' => 'Canada/Mountain' |
}, |
Descriptions:
'UTC' |
how is the hardware clock set: |
|
0 means it is set for the local timezone. |
|
1 means it is set to GMT. |
'ntp' |
set to the fully qualified domain name for the time server that you want to access. See http://www.ntp.org for a list of known time servers in your area and, more IMPORTANTLY, the rules governing their access. See also the file /etc/ntp.conf and the directory contents in /etc/ntp. |
'timezone' |
set to one of the time zone strings for the local time zone |
The time zone string can be determined from the directories located in /usr/share/zoneinfo and combining the directory names and filenames.
Examples:
The sub-directory Canada contains a file Mountain, so the time zone string would be 'Canada/Mountain'.

The file /etc/sysconfig/clock is updated with information from this option. |
