Load the timezones package; then set the TZ variable appropriately in /etc/timezone. It should contain a single line: Brazil/<area> where <area> is one of: Acre DeNoronha East West If you want to change the timezone for a particular session, redefine the environment variable, TZ, by a shell command (Bourne-shell syntax): export TZ=Brazil/<area> The available timezones are files under /usr/share/zoneinfo. Full information in the libc info files, under Calendar Time. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
