Micheal really I've no more ideas, can you try exactly this? set your CLOCK="UTC" in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/conf.d/clock depending from your baselayout version # cd /etc # rm localtime # ln -s ../usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome localtime reboot
if (your time now is CET)
is EST5EDT is broken ?
try to emerge again "sys-libs/glibc"
else
not the problem is not the file
try to emerge again "baselayout"
remember to relink the wanted EST5EDT
rebootbetter ideas are well accepted

I have rebooted since I made the change. On a prior install of gentoo a month ago on this same hardware, that choice worked for my timezone.

Micheal,
Your file is definitly linked correctly to a file in zoneinfo; however I don't know if that is the same zone/setting as mine (/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern). I'm also not sure of the difference.
Have you rebooted your machine since making the CLOCK=local change? If you don't want to reboot you can run
/etc/init.d/clock restart
and restart any depending services as suggested by a previous post.

/etc/localtime should be linked to a file in /usr/share/zoneinfo that corresponds to your local time.
