Hi, i have a problem with the timestamp in OpenVPN log. Despite the correct system date/time, the timestamp is always 1 hour off (during summertime 2 hours off). Where does OpenVPN obtain the time from? The OpenVPN-Server (version 2.3.6) is running on a gentoo installation. I found this thread [url]https://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-users/2006-11/msg00232.html[/url] and can reproduce that the timestamp is ok until it swtich into the jail. I tried copy the timezone/localtime file into the jail, but it didn't help. Maybe someone has some ideas. Best regards, Thraze

Hi,

i have a problem with the timestamp in OpenVPN log. Despite the correct system date/time, the timestamp is always 1 hour off (during summertime 2 hours off). Where does OpenVPN obtain the time from?

The OpenVPN-Server (version 2.3.6) is running on a gentoo installation.

I found this thread https://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-users/2006-11/msg00232.html and can reproduce that the timestamp is ok until it swtich into the jail.

I tried copy the timezone/localtime file into the jail, but it didn't help.

Maybe someone has some ideas.

Oh man, it worked now. Of course timezone/localtime belongs into jail/etc/ ...

Thanks.
