Time from PfSnense is not correct

wikont75

Hey@all!

Time from PfSnense is not correct, that means 5 minutes= 80 minutes
NTP Time Server is correct (ich have testet 3 Server)
Hardware CMOS Setting (Time Setting is correct) are correct!

PfSense Version:

1.2.3-RELEASE
built on Sun Dec 6 23:21:36 EST 2009
Platform pfSense

Any Ideas?

Best regards

Can you provide some detail on what you mean by "not correct", I'm afraid that "5 minutes= 80 minutes" doesn't make any sense.

Hey!

Thank you for your Answer!

That means, when in fact take 5 seconds PFSense shows that just 1 minute has passed!

Is that in the GUI?

If you type date on the command line does it show the right time? Did you set the CMOS time to your local time or to UTC/GMT?

wikont75

in the GUI and by command date also!
You mean CMOS Setting in BIOS or in PfSense?
In PfSense sets "Europe/Berlin" as Time Zone

BIOS. You need to keep in mind that NTP uses UTC/GMT. If you've set your BIOS clock to the local time then what you're seeing could be the result of NTP trying to correct the time.

In BIOS there isn´t Setting for Local Time or UTC/GMT.
There are only System Time and System Date, this Setting are correct!

I have turned in PfSense GUI "UTC/GMT+1" instead of Local Time "Europe/Berlin", but problem was not resolved ???

You missed the point - the time in the BIOS has to be the UTC time, not local time. What you have chosen for the (displayed) timezone in pfSense is not relevant to this.

What have i to do?

Cry Havok

Sorry, I thought it was clear - you must set the time in the BIOS to be the UTC (also known as GMT) time. You must not use the local time (unless of course that happens to be UTC). If you are GMT+1 then subtract one hour from your local time and use that.

wikont75

Ah so, I've done that alredy, but this ist'n resolved my problem! :-[
for example, my local time now is 15:00 clock and 14:00 clock is now in Bios.

Any Ideas yet?

So, your times look correct - is the time in pfSense correct or is it still fast? If it's still fast exactly what hardware are you using?

wikont75

It's still fast :(
I'm use Fujitsu-Siemens Scenic PC Pentium 3 800 MhZ, Poenix BIOS.

Here are a few threads from FreeBSD forums that may help you.

Hey!

kern.timecounter.hardware=TSC in /etc/sysctl.conf resolved my problem. :D

Thank You!!!
