RE: Time not wanting to change
May be, you only specified your local time zone to KDE, not to the base system. I suggest setting the time zone in login.conf. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Warren Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 3:35 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Time not wanting to change im running FreeBSD5.4-STABLE For some damn reason my Clock in KDE reads the correct time but yet my system base time when doing a uname -a outputs to UTC time and not AEST. i have run rdate and other programs and not one of them manages to fix the time, i even checked BIOS, i even (gasp) stuck a windows hdd in this machine and it ran the correct time.

Try: ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/ZONEFILE /etc/localtime /etc/localtime controls what timezone the system uses, KDE uses something different. -- Bob Bomar [EMAIL PROTECTED] - FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.freebsd.org pgpGRxS3R9gHG.pgp Description: PGP signature

Nothing was previously set, so i have done as suggested. How do i now get the system to use the /etc/localtime ? im hoping i dont have to peform a windows trick an reboot *chuckle* -- Yours Sincerely Shinjii http://www.shinji.nq.nu ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can change the timezone with 'tzsetup' and time and date with the 'date' command, see manpage for more information. The time and date shown by 'uname -a' is the time where the kernel was built. It's a fixed string in the binary. It won't change unless you won't recompile your kernel.
