glines not set on all servers [resolved]

[benny]

hi,

i linked a new server to my existing server, and ive noticed that somtimes g(z)lines are set on server A, but not on server B.

if a user is zlined by my bopm on server A, sometimes they can reconnect on server B. if i do a stats g on server A, i see all the g(z)lines i should. if i do stats g on server B, only some of the g(z)lines are there.

any ideas?

Make sure all the servers have the correct time with /tsctl alltime

«9:37:13am» ••• (s) *** Server=ServerA TStime=1177459654 time()=1177459655 TSoffset=0
«9:37:14am» ••• (ServerB) *** Server=ServerB TStime=1177516481 time()=1177459668 TSoffset=56815

is this okay? i'm not sure what's meant by TSoffset..

TOffset means that servers time has been adjusted by Unreal. You might want to ensure that server has the correct system time, because 56000 seconds is over 12 hours!

yeh i have my vps set to my local time zone to make things easier for me, and server B is on that vps. is this a problem for unreal?

You asked if it is a problem for Unreal, yet you yourself have shown the results. So the answer is yes it is a problem for Unreal.

so it is only possible to successfully link servers that are in the same time zone...?

On my network ive got servers in the US and servers in the UK both linked together, im guessing what may be causing the offset issue is your VPS is saying its time is one thing and saying its from another timezone where that isnt the time.

I may be wrong on that but as long as the servers clock is set to local time for the timezone its in all should be fine.

ok thanks, i will set my time zone to it's correct value and see how that goes
