Changing the system time is just wrong; we need a way to have a "rubber" timezone then. I want logs, etc, to remain ordered in the "systems" view of time; having /var/log/* files out of order because we're monkeying with the system clock to get the desktop time right is backwards. If we can handle daylight savings time, we can have a traveling time zone for desktops. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts
