[arch-general] "hardware clock" on a VPS

[Pierre Chapuis]

Hi everybody,

I was wondering if there's a means to specify, in rc.conf or somewhere else, that you never want to set your hardware clock.

That's because, on Xen-based VPS, the hardware clock is handled on the hypervisor level, and /etc/cron.hourly/adjtime gives warnings such as:

Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.
Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method.

An easy workaround is to delete this file but it will come back after each initscripts update.

Does anybody know a solution to prevent that?
