Time Zone Error
-
I upgraded from 1.2-RELEASE to 1.2.1-RC1 OCT 15, My Time Zone setting wasn't kept. When I went to change it I noticed the drop down options look weird, ex: ./America/Toronto and don't recall 1.2-RELEASE being like that.
I was able to switch and save fine BUT it appears that some packages might not be using the time zone setting properly even though default pfSense stuff seems to be. I can't confirm this 100% but IMSpectors & bandwidthd logs appeared to be wrong. Not sure the time difference between Africa and Toronto could've got messed before I switched it. -

Then upgraded to 11/10 snapshot and experienced the same problem, the time zone looks weird like ./Place/City and settings haven't been kept back.
I am using the embedded version btw.

Same with a full install 1.2.1-RC1 (built on Sat Oct 11 09:05:22 EDT 2008) here. FWIW

Hello,
TZ setting normally uses corresponding zone file located in /usr/share/zoneinfo. What do you have in there. You may have to salvage some of zone info from any older builds which timezone setting known to work correctly :'(
Yes, it happened to me several times in both 1.2.1-RC and 1.3-AA. It perhaps fixed in some future builds :P
cheers,

I wonder if this can be added in the dashboard permanently to show the router's current time and zone so we always know it's correct?
I found another thread with the same issue and modified dashboard's system_information.widget.php in /usr/local/www/widgets/widgets folder.
Here is the original thread:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,12063.0.html
Only slight change I had to make was this:
Put this code right after the warranty disclaimer right after ?> instead of
System Overview
exec("/bin/date", $dateOutput, $dateStatus);
$currentDate = $dateOutput[0];
?>Everything else should work as instructed in the other thread.

there was a problem with an updated zoneinfo, tomorrow's snapshots should be fine.
