I think this is the embarrassing part. Changing to local time fixes things briefly, but when ntpdate runs again, it updates the internal clock to UTC, not local. So then the Gnome clock applet is off again. Evolution message stamps are off, but Evolutions calendar time indicator line is OK. How do I tell ntpdate to update to LOCAL time, not UTC? I used to have a link from /etc/localtime to some timezone file somewhere. The system set that up, so I am a little vague on the details. The upgrade removed that link -- I assume there is some other timezone mechanism that I just don't understand. If I could fix that, it would fix all but the Evo calendar time indicator, and that's just an annoyance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
