I think in general UNIX-like kernels (thankfully) don't have any idea of timezones or DSTs, they simply operate in UTC. All complex stuff (like what should be done with a US user currently sitting in their UK office accessing a database in Japan using an application in Australia) is left to the upper layers to worry about. -- Jarkko Hietaniemi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ "There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'.
