Hello, I want to let a freshly installed Plan 9 box use NTP but can't get it to work.
I used the explanation under "SETTING UP CORRECT TIMEZONE" from http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/installation_instructions/ but noticed some things: - User adm cannot edit /rc/bin/termrc because it is owned by user sys and group sys and user adm isn't a member of the sys group. I could make user adm a member of the sys group but this is probably not the way to go. - User glenda is a member of the sys group and can edit /rc/bin/termrc, so I changed the TIMESYNCARGS variable, saved, quit sam and checked with p /rc/bin/termrc. However, after rebooting, the change is lost (in outer space?). I also noticed that the copy of the termrc file I made before making the change, was gone. I checked the manpages for boot, booting, root, namespace... but didn't really find the exact reason. I think it has to do with the fact that the directory I see as user glenda, is a union directory which only allows me to change the file in the current namespace. If that's the case, it's probably not the intention that I change it as user glenda either. What am I missing here? Kind regards, -- Frank Lenaerts ---------------------------------------- fr...@inua.be
