Configuring Time Settings

The Time WebYaST module allows you to configure time and date on the target system. To configure time and date, follow these steps:

  1. Choose the general Region and the specific Timezone from the drop-down lists.

  2. If the system's hardware clock is set to UTC (Universal Time Coordinates), activate the Hardware clock is set to UTC option. If the hardware clock is set to the local time, the option should be inactive.

  3. To set the current time manually, select Manually configure time and edit the Date and Time entries.

    To synchronize system time with a network time server, select Synchronize via Network Time Protocol (NTP) and enter hostname or IP address of an NTP server.

  4. Click Save.

Logout After Changing System Time

The login time is limited to 2 hours. Therefore, if you change the system time by a large value, your session will automatically expire.
