You need also null file (touch ->) /etc/wall_cmos_clock + run adjkerntz -i. Both are for you set up in /etc/rc (or /etc/rc.local (2.2.2), sysconfig (before 2.2.2); try grep adjkerntz /etc/rc*). You can also try /stand/sysinstall. See also man zic - time zone compiler (but you probably haven't source for zic). Thing isn't complicated. You can simply do it in various ways. Most simply is to use /stand/sysinstall. Here you have source for zic and timezone MET: #/osu/etc/xMET # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER Rule M-Eur 1986 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 1:00 " DST" Rule M-Eur 1986 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 0 - # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES/SAVE FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone MET 1:00 M-Eur MET%s # Tom Hoffman says that MET is also known as Central European Time Link MET CET #eof Josef Belkovics
