Default Set time in Jail

Hello, when I try to set the time in my jail running the date command I get an "operation not permitted" error. The host that the jail is running on has the correct time, and I assumed the jail would get it's time from that however it appears not. How can I change the time in my jail?

Thanks.

Your jail's date/time is set by the host environment. It sounds like you may just need to set the correct time zone within your jail -- use tzsetup for that.

While you're at it, you may want to comment out the following line in /etc/crontab within the jail:
Code:
#1,31   0-5     *       *       *       root    adjkerntz -a
Otherwise you'll just get lots of warning emails about it within the jail.

Thanks, it was already in the correct time zone but commenting out the crontab entry appears to have fixed it.

Hello again, I seem to be running into this problem again - I haven't changed any settings on either the jail or the host but for some reason the jail's time is exactly an hour slower than the host's time, I've only just noticed this in the last couple of weeks, the time was correct until recently.

***EDIT*** Sorry, just used tzsetup to change the timezone and it has worked, however I still don't understand how the problem arose in the first place as I haven't touched any of the settings.

Please run
% date
in both the host and the jail and post the exact output here.
