And BTW - the command to set the default time zone on Debian is "tzconfig".
Bingo! Thanks for that. I could not find tzconfig using apt-cache search but did find the man page on the web, which reveals all: The work done by tzconfig is actually pretty simple. It just copies the correct timezone installed in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ to /etc/localtime and puts the name of the timezone into /etc/timezone. There is nothing wrong with doing this manually. However, using tzconfig you don't have to remember the path to the timezones. Thus, in my case: cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney /etc/localtime echo Australia/Sydney >/etc/timezone And finally, date Sat Jan 20 12:48:39 EST 2007 Now why the system is not aware of daylight savings is beyond me. cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services The 7 R's of Windows support: retry, restart, reboot, reconfigure, reinstall, reformat and finally, replace with Linux. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
