hey, you were the one who said it was "weird" instead of just accepting the obvious. > tzdata files, and I have demonstrated that they are correct...it knew to > change the clock, but how...? no idea. something weird you've done to the config, perhaps? or, more likely, something weird in FC4 which has been fixed in FC5. some things to check: 1. your TZ environment variable. if it's set, try clearing it (with unset, not by making it equal to "" which would be equivalent to setting it to "UTC"). if it's set to something incorrect, then set it to the right timezone name. 2. is /etc/localtime pointing to the right timezone file? e.g. on my system, it is a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne 3. reformat and install debian. you know you want to :-) craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (part time cyborg) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
