Other Help Topics :: Driving me nuts #1

Hi Guys,

I have the same problems with my timezone. I tried the things mentioned here and in the Wiki but it doesn't work.

It seems to me that the parameters at the bootline aren't processed. I have added the following things to my bootline
ssh tz Europe/Amsterdam

In /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo. I am running a harddisk installation. After the reboot the timezone is still EST and no ssh is running. In /proc/cmdline is see the added parameters.

Any ideas about what is going on?

I just checked and the format of my tz setting in /boot/grub/menu.lst is a little different.

Code Sample

tz=US/Pacific utc

You might try adding the "=" to se if at least the zone setting gets saved.

I had the same problem with SSH not starting when set by the boot line parameter. What I eneded up doing is this:
1- start ssh server once using the dsl panel, this will create a couple files that are needed by sshd
2 - add the following line to your /opt/bootlocal.sh file to start ssh at boot time

Code Sample

/usr/sbin/sshd

Reboot and check, sshd should be running.

Thanks! That works for me also.
