If chronyd doesn't have network access, then simply it's up to the user to set the date/time. If there isn't a trusted time source, the hardware clock shouldn't be touched by software via assumption. If there is no network access, then yes, the hardware clock doesn't have to be modified. If the user's BIOS is set to 1/1/1970 some package install features may not work. We should be able to use a burned in date/time in the ISO as a trusted source if there is no network access. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
