Changing System Date
| Posted by prashant1979, 11-08-2007, 07:48 AM |
| Hello,
We have a server located in USA. We have hosted an application for online booking of travel tickets. The customer wanted to change the system date to IST instead of EDT which we did. Now, if we try to change the system date to a future date in order to test our application, the date automatically resets to the current date. This happens only if we have the timezone as IST. If we change the system date to EDT, then after changing the system date, it does not reset automatically. It changes only if we modify it manually. However, if we change the timezone to IST, then the system date resets automatically back to the current date. We have stopped the W32 Time service and also blocked the port 123. We have also disabled the automatic synchronization with the internet time server. Does anybody have any idea as to where exactly could be the problem?
Regards
Prashant

| So far we have tested it for IST alone.

| Hi,
Really interesting trouble. But I am not sure if we do have a trouble with IST. Have you checked the details on /etc/localtime? There should be the link or details on which time zone is active for the server. Again, do check if the details on the IST file are not modified. You should also try checking on the server rootkit check too.
