<title>FHS compliance notes</title>

<para>The FHS recommends that we use /var/lib/hwclock, instead of the
usual /etc, as the location of the adjtime file. To make hwclock, which
is part of the util-linux package, FHS-compliant, run the following:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>cp hwclock/hwclock.c{,.backup} &amp;&amp;
sed 's%etc/adjtime%var/lib/hwclock/adjtime%' \
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;hwclock/hwclock.c.backup &gt; hwclock/hwclock.c &amp;&amp;
mkdir -p /var/lib/hwclock</userinput></screen></para>
