Thanks,
I suspected that, but how to set date to the correct time zone (and I don't know what
my "official" time zone is)?
During Redhat install I used the GUI to set the current time zone;
but now if I do
# date 062417152002
will set the date to 24/6/2002 5:15pm; but will still retain the EDT time zone.
Anybody can guide with this? "man date" says something about CUT - which
I dont see of use here.
thanks,
azman

Hello,
Your server time below reveals the problem. The "EDT" stands for
Eastern Daylight Time, the time zone of the Eastern United States, which
is GMT minus 4 hours. Since you are GMT plus 8 hours, there is the
12 hour difference. Fix your time zone setting on your server and this
should fix your problem.
