Handy" To: emulation@freebsd.org Subject: localtime under Linux-emu? Message-Id: X-Files: The truth is out there Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I remember sometime back that when linux s/w attempts to find out what time it is, it always comes back with ... what, system time? Anyway, it comes back with what the hardware says the time is instead of localtime. I'm coming up against this at work in my FreeBSD campaign. I seem to remember that it was non-trivial to make Linux figure out what time it was, does this still hold true? Brian
