r1284 system hang when changing time from console

[devon]

If one changes the system time on the console, the system will become unresponsive. Try accessing Askozia's console and advance the time by one hour with the 'date' command. The system will appear to lock up for several seconds and will not respond to keyboard input or ICMP. It also seems that the larger the time change, the longer the delay will be.

This is probably the same cause for the ntpclient boot delays. I am not an NTP expert by any means but I believe something critical is not being done correctly regarding the setting of the hardware clock. There is a difference between the hardware and system clocks which I'm obviously not addressing in the way the Askozia distribution is assembled.

I'm really stretched for time this week to look in to it but would love to get this fixed. The NTP boot delays are not acceptable and neither is this behavior!

I think there is already a ticket open for this...some additional info regarding a fix or a possible cause to these symptoms would be a great Christmas present for everyone.

Thanks for reporting, devon.

There appears to be an issue relating to asterisk and the dahdi dummy timer

Its now fixed but may be due to the version of dahdi your compiliing in with askozia.

Hope that helps

Excellent find! That sounds like a symptom match and that fix is not in the version currently being used. I'll patch in those fixes for the next snapshot.

Thanks
