Yes. Etc/GMT+11 is UT-11h, and Etc/GMT-11 is UT+11h. You can also see this by looking in the Olson etcetera file: # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Etc/GMT-11 11 - GMT-11 Zone Etc/GMT+11 -11 - GMT+11 Such zic input, specifically the GMTOFF column, uses the usual sign convention; you can see here that the zone names use the opposite convention. -zefram
