[9fans] Date is wrong

[9fans] Date is wrong

[Pietro Gagliardi]

Hello. My files are not being timestamped correctly because Plan 9  
says my date is January 2, 2000 and the time is moving extremely  
slowly. But I have QEMU set the guest clock to the host clock. What's  
wrong?

i don't know about qemu issues, but you may have started two
timesync processes. or you may have a timesync process trying to
sync your machine to jan 1, 1970.

Assuming you have networking enabled, have timesync
synchronize to an ntp server. Put the following in
/rc/bin/termrc.local and reboot:

TIMESYNCARGS=(-n <some-open-ntp-server such as pool.ntp.org>)

You may also need to add

ndb/cs -f $NDBFILE
ip/ipconfig

Thanks, that helped me.

Make your timesync sync the clock using NTP instead of the host clock. 
That solved the always-is-january-2000 problem for me.
The same issue was discussed in the list months ago, but nobody knew why 
it happens.
