time is off by 1 hour
my timezone file contains Canada/Eastern when i type date, it tells me that its EST, not EDT like it should (i think) so when I run ntpdate it gives me the time, minus 1 hour. any ideas as to how to fix this? Thanks :) Mathew Johnston

run tzconfig as root and follow the instructions. also do NOT forget to set the environmental variable TZ in your .bash_profile.
