Then you loose information. System time is already in UTC from the kernel, /etc/localtime provide information about the current timezone as well. I think people would find it surprising if we do something non-standard here. > 2) Daemons should use UTC (logger, cron, ...) The daemons know both UTC and the current localtime, so they should know themselves which one to use. > 3) TZ should be set per user not system-wide. I don't think it is a good idea to set the TZ as mentioned earlier, but it could be used in special cases if you know what you are doing I guess. Certainly not something to recommend as default though. Thanks for the feedback! Cheers, Tom
