British Summer Time
24 April, 2011 - 21:04
Hi All,
Just wondered if it was at all possible to configure the HAH to take on BST time settings, I am currently running 1hour behind. I've had a quick look on google for a different NTP server but from what I can see, it looks like they are all set at UTC and local time is handled by the firmware, is this correct?.
Does anyone have a solution? I know it's not a big problem, would just make my scripts neater.
Many thanks,
Garry

here is an idea
Make sure you web browser isn't dicking with you and showing you cached pages.
Check the behaviour using different browers as I don't see the problem you have using Firefox 4 nor IE9, check your settings.

See similar with /etc/TZ setting
Garry, Brett,
Wanted to share that I see similar, same with IE8, Firefox 4, Chrome. I had this on test unit and not on live so did not pay too much attention until comment from Garry.
What is different on my test is .. no pw and login screen on Webserver. Set pw + login screen on, save, reboot - time is correct! Clear pw, remove login, save & reboot - time is UTC again.
Regards,
Aivo

I manged to reproduce it too
I modified the code a little but whatever I did I it ended up reverting to UTC !
I thought it might have been the uClibc libraries so I tried upgrading them from 0.9.19 to 0.9.28 however in the process I toasted my livebox and I don't have time to reflash it back so I'm offline for a while now :( Grrr
The problem is uclib does not do the zoneinfo stuff that glibc does. You can however work around this with the TZ environment variable. http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/glibc/html_chapter/libc_21.html#SEC440
For example on your hah busybox command line if I did this I would get the right time.
# TZ="GMT0BST-1" date
Mon Apr 25 16:51:23 BST 2011
#
So what you need to do to make this permenant
# echo GMT0BST-1 >/etc/TZ
# reboot
For me as I'm on the EAST coast I use this
# echo EST5EDT4 >/etc/TZ
