You can also use the TZ environment variable so that the date(1) displays what you expect. to do this for you too. Look at the manual page for zic. Also look in /usr/share/zoneinfo. There is also some interesting feedback between the way MSwindows mucks about with the cmos clock and what FreeBSD expects to find there. Look at adjkerntz(8) for more info good luck -- Chris Fedde To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
