TD>Ok, this is seems like such a brain dead question, but I'm having an oaf of a time
setting proper sysdate on my system.
TD>
TD>I know I can do this by doing something like:
TD>% date -s "Fri, 30 Mar 2001 08:00:00"
TD>
TD>but then when I hit date -R I get the following:
TD>Fri, 30 Mar 2001 08:00:00 -0500
TD>
TD>I need to set the -0500 to +0800. Can anyone help?
You need to set localtime then. The file in question is /etc/localtime
and it can be set by creating a symlink to the correct file in /etc.
Mine looks like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Mar 9 09:45 localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern
You can also do this by typing setup as root and then select "Timezone
configuration".
