Slackware, SSH & HWClock

[BiFo]

Hi!

Im having some strange behavior when running the "hwclock" command with SSH in my Slackware Server:

# date && hwclock && ssh root@127.0.0.1 /sbin/hwclock
Wed Mar  2 16:28:45 ART 2011
Wed 02 Mar 2011 04:29:00 PM ART  -0.753012 seconds
root@127.0.0.1's password:
Wed Mar  2 16:29:02 2011  -0.979627 seconds

As you can see, the Output from running "hwclock" and "ssh root@127.0.0.1 /sbin/hwclock" is different; cause one of them shows me the information in different order and in fact i doesnt even show me the TimeZone.

Slackware Details:

Slackware 13.0.0.0.0
OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
hwclock from util-linux-ng 2.14.2
Linux 2.6.32.2

I've tried the same in a RedHat and all worked out just fine.
Red Hat Details:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008
hwclock from util-linux-2.13-pre7
Linux Edocta_ARG 2.6.18-164.el5

I've run some more tests with more strange results...

# ssh root@127.0.0.1 echo && /sbin/hwclock
root@127.0.0.1's password:

Thu 03 Mar 2011 07:34:24 AM ART  -0.601686 seconds

The Output seems OK, and the only difference was to first run command "echo" with no parameters before "hwclock".


In the Slackware server, i've run the command through SSH against the RedHat Server:

# ssh root@MyRedHatServer /sbin/hwclock
root@MyRedHatServer's password:
Thu 03 Mar 2011 07:37:30 AM ART  -0.709783 seconds

The Output seems OK.


Using a recently created User (MyNewUser) in both servers... In the Slackware server, i've run the command through SSH against the RedHat Server:

# ssh MyNewUser@MyRedHatServer /sbin/hwclock
MyNewUser@MyRedHatServer's password:
Thu Mar  3 07:41:07 2011  -0.821204 seconds

The Output is Strange.


In the RedHat server, i've run the command through SSH against the Slackware Server:

# ssh root@MySlackwareServer /sbin/hwclock
root@MySlackwareServer's password:
Thu Mar  3 07:39:13 2011  -0.072013 seconds

Strange Output again.


Using the recently created User (MyNewUser) in both servers... In the RedHat server, i've run the command through SSH against the Slackware Server:

# ssh MyNewUser@MySlackwareServer /sbin/hwclock
MyNewUser@MySlackwareServer's password:
Thu Mar  3 07:44:56 2011  -0.053655 seconds

One more... the Output is Strange.
