In my testing, I found GNU date doing something else (a bug?): # unset TZ TZDIR ; rm -f /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime ; /tmp/date Sun Nov 29 13:12:40 /etc/localtime 1981 # uname -a ; /tmp/date --version Linux myrouter 2.2.19 #1 Tue Aug 7 16:55:52 CDT 2001 i486 unknown date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0 Written by David MacKenzie.
