Hullo, I could probably nut this out, but... ;') I've checked the archives (query was "netscape and messenger and time" and variants with "date" and "linux" added) and no real joy. I'm sure it's something stupid I've (not) done. FreeBSD V3.3-Release, Linux compatability (linux_base-5.2) and Netscape Communicator 4.61 - Linux variant. Dual boot with Win95 (rarely used, but there anyway) and as such the RTC is set to local time (Australian Eastern) with adjkerntz running. My problem: Netscape Messenger keeps telling the time of the mail messages as UTC, rather than local. I _can_ cope with this, but it's a little disconcerting. What do I need to tell Netscape to not use the (adjusted) kernel-time, but rather the local time? (as 'date' does, quite nicely) Do I need to declare an environment variable at Netscape startup to tell it it is at 10 (well 11 as we are still on DST) hours ahead of UTC ? I'm working towards making this a FreeBSD only system, (still trying to get a Lotus Notes *Client* working) and once I do that (installing StarOffice today, I hope ;') I can set the RTC to UTC and drop the adjkerntz.
