Bug ID: 197313
Summary: tzsetup(8): -C option displays UTC message to user
Product: Base System
Version: 10.1-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
Reporter: nick.frampton at akips.com
When no zoneinfo data is present on the running system, but is present in a
chroot environment, tzsetup -C incorrectly displays the message "Does the
abbreviation 'UTC' look reasonable?" regardless of the time zone selected.
tzsetup does not do a chroot(2) system call. Instead, it simulates the effect
by prefixing all paths with the chroot environment.
The problem is that when tzsetup is going to verify your configuration, it
would use tzset(3), which does not respect the simulated chroot effect. When
no zoneinfo data is present, everything would be considered as UTC.
