Hi,
I'm sure this must be a FAQ, but I have not yet
found the answer.
Running on OpenVMS (AlphaServer) VMS8.3 with
patches through July; and perl 5.8.6.
On 2 nodes, gmtime and localtime is an hour
behind, but correct on the 3rd node. All of
the vms time logicals look like this:
"SYS$TIMEZONE_DAYLIGHT_SAVING" = "0"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL" = "-18000"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_NAME" = "EST"
"SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE" = "EST5EDT4,M3.2.0/02,M11.1.0/02"
6.0:friedb$ sysman
SYSMAN> set e/c
%SYSMAN-I-ENV, current command environment:
Clusterwide on local cluster
Username FRIEDBERG will be used on nonlocal nodes
---> vms show time is the same on each node:
SYSMAN> do show time
%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node VMS6

Any help appreciated. I don't know when this started; I'm betting
there is something funky with a bad file located in the local sys
root for K and VMS6, but I don't know what file I am looking for.
