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.
