<0> hi all
<0> I have a problem with proftpd, I setup my box time, and proftpd is 2h late
<1> what version of proftpd?
<0> 1.3.0
<1> are you running proftpd within a chroot jail?
<0> no
<1> what do you see that makes you think proftpd is "late"?
<1> timestamps in directory listings?
<0> yes, that's what is "wrong" for me



<1> do you have "TimesGMT on" in your proftpd.conf?
<0> no
<1> argh...meeting time
<1> bbl
<0> :) enjoy
<2> hi. I have a problem regarding virtual hosts.
<2> I have a host with proftpd 1.2.10 with two configured virtualhosts and default server off. But when trying to connect to one of the virtual hosts (each has its own IP) i get "no server available...
<0> hello
<1> hello
<0> how was your meeting?
<1> unproductive, unfortunately
<0> not openminded collegues?
<1> nah, wasn't that
<1> just unproductive for me, since it was all stuff I knew already
<1> and I was there to answer questions
<1> that had already been asked, and answered, several times before
<0> like the concierge?
<1> something like that
<1> it's the price to pay for being the core developer for some of this stuff, I suppose
<1> I just hate having to answer the same question over and over
<0> say loud "RTFM" :)
<1> I do
<0> :)
<0> speaking your FM, I check yours, but still does not help to fixe folder timestamp
<0> *FM*
<1> what platform are you running?
<0> Fedora Core 3
<0> Linux
<1> this sound slike it could be related to http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2717
<1> which should've been addressed in 1.3.0
<1> (you're not running a 1.3.0 RC release, right?)
<0> - ProFTPD Version: 1.3.0 (stable)
<1> is the TZ environment variable set in the process which starts proftpd?
<0> I would say no, because I check and it starts from the file in init.d which is the default one made by fresh upgrade (from sources) with directadmin stuffs
<3> this is the same issue seen in a recent debian bug
<3> that patch is applied, the TZ variable is set and btw it works for me with CEST



<0> frankie: are you 'simonchs' ?
<3> no
<0> ok, I readed on the FAQ of DirectAdmin to set TimesGMT Off, but If I'm right this is no more supported since few releases ago, isn't it?
<1> TimesGMT is still supported
<3> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=380667
<3> castaglia: it seems sometimes it comes out with an invalida tz name
<3> *invalid
<3> but honestly this could be a libc6 issue
<0> worked also for me, it is strange I tried this before, anyway thanks
<3> castaglia: see just the the last post
<1> I really wish users would actually bother to understand problems before saying things like "ProFTPD should just set the right TZ name"
<1> grr
<1> frankie: it _is_ ultimately a libc issue, and the fact that _none_ of the bloody libc implementations bother to document a global variable
<1> the patch I used as a hack in and of itself, to try to workaround the broken libc problem
<1> I cannot fix the root cause
<1> that patch was about the best I could do for a workaround
<1> so if users still complain, I'm very inclined to say, at this point, "put up or shut up"
<3> where do you get the tzname[0] value?
<1> that's the global variable
<1> it's a libc variable
<3> ok, just seen
<0> castaglia: why not an option "TimesZone -/1[value]" ? :D
<0> "TimesZone -/+[value]"
<1> Greg\ory: becaues that
<1> err
<1> because that's the exact role and purpose of the TZ environment variable
<1> it's not proftpd's job to recreate that particular wheel
<1> man tzset
<3> Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 8
<1> frankie: all well and fine...as long as it's portable
<1> which it isn't
<1> frankie: so, to reply to that debian bug report, I'd recommend telling the poster to Do The Right Thing(tm) and set the TZ environment variable properly themselves
<3> anyway i would forward that issue to libc folks
<1> Robe had talked about doing that...dunno if he followed up
<1> he noticed that rsync was affected as well
<1> you know, I _was_ having a good morning...grr...
<3> i like when i can re-***ign bug to other packages :)
<0> how often should (daily, weekly, montly) I synchronise the time to a ntp server to have it early correct?
<1> Greg\ory: oh, by the way, if you wanted to set the TZ for proftpd in its proftpd.conf, there is a SetEnv config directive
<0> I guess, I will start to think about to create a bash script for each time I setup again the server, it would be a great deal, and wouldn't require to bother anyone else
