Probably root can read a file that has restrictive permissions for the non-root user. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ env -i date -R > > Tue, 18 Sep 2007 22:19:27 +0000 Note the non-root user is UTC. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# env -i date -R > > Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:20:01 -0300 The root user is -0300. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /etc/timezone > > America/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# I expected to see a newline on the end of that file. Try these things. I suspect that the non-root user is not able to read the timezone file or perhaps the localtime file. LC_ALL=C strace -e trace=file date -R Also what are the permissions on the /etc/localtime file? ls -ld /etc/localtime ls -ldL /etc/localtime Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
