<p>In usr.sbin/installer/dfuibe_installer/fn_configure.c, it appears that if<br />you answer "Yes" to the question "Is this machine's CMOS clock set to <br />UTC?",<br />the installer will add the file /etc/wall_cmos_clock, which is what <br />should<br />happen if the CMOS clock is set to local time.</p>

<p>The behavior in tzsetup(8) is the same and probably where the installer <br />took it from.</p>

<ul><li><strong>Description</strong> updated (<a title="View differences" href="/journals/10412/diff?detail_id=125">diff</a>)</li></ul><p>I don't think I stated this well. When the installer asks "Is this machine's CMOS clock set to UTC?", I answer "No" because the machine is set to local time. However, answering "No" causes the installer to not add the file /etc/wall_cmos_clock, which causes the OS to use UTC time. If the desired result of answering this question is to make the system use UTC time rather than local time, then I guess this is working correctly and this can be closed.</p> DragonFlyBSD - Bug #2060: installer: action for the "UTC versus local time" question is reversedhttps://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2060?journal_id=104642012-01-11T19:51:45Zswildner
