Ahh... I'm guessing that you missed the following post in this thread titled "date/time trouble - PST came too early [fixed]" posted 11-02. LI Xin offered the following solution, which solved my dilemma: Install /usr/ports/misc/zoneinfo or upgrade your system to a recent release (preferred), e.g. RELENG_6_2 aka FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. Re-run tzsetup and choose your time zone accordingly. You will need to restart the time-sensitive services afterward, or reboot the whole system :-) I chose the port && Re-run tzsetup && restart route. :) Thanks again for taking making the effort to respond. --Chris > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- panic: kernel trap (ignored)
