Re: [pfSense Support] DST 2007-ready?
I am having a problem with the /etc/localtime. After applying the time zone update the UI came with a blank popup and when I saved the page it erased the /etc/localtime. I have manually added a link ti the right timezone (/etc/localtime - /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/ Vancouver) but how do I get the ui back?
