Time zone setup

Tried to set the correct time zone using tzselect. Now the time zone is correct, but everything else is a mess.

Before the attempt is was

TIMEZONE="Canada/Something" (/etc/rc.conf)

But date and time correct (Fri 07 March 2008 18:43)

Now it is

TIMEZONE="Europe/Moscow"

Sat 08 March 2008 5:43

Dual-booting Windows shows Sat 08 March 2008 2:43

Tried to set the HARDWARECLOCK to "localtime" and "UTC"; no difference.

I'd like very much to put things to rights

Re: Time zone setup

Set up open ntp.

pacman -S openntpd

In your /etc/rc.conf put in your correct timezone and add openntpd to your daemons array. Then start the service with /etc/rc.d/openntpd start

You should be all set after that.
