tor and network consensus | wrong time
« on: May 04, 2011, 07:02:04 PM »
Hello.

Been getting scroogle blocked (by ISP?) and would like to keep the ads away...

So I thought to use tor. Starting tor doesn't go well :(

May 04 15:27:47.023 [warn] Our clock is 6 hours, 32 minutes behind the time published in the consensus network status document (2011-05-04 22:00:00 GMT).  Tor needs an accurate clock to work correctly. Please check your time and date settings!

There are other issues, but this one seems to be the killer at this time.

Date/Time tool shows correct settings.
I have tz=PST in bootcode, and time is correct from CLI date command:

Code: [Select]
$ date
Wed May 4  15:28:35  PST 2011

What can I do about this "consensus network status document " error?

If anyone knows about tor or this I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks!

Here's the hardware clock and date commands compared.

Looks good.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep at it and let you know if/how I make it work.
