He luckily had 2 similar instalations with just one of them functional. Therefore, doing a cross compare, he found out that the most noticeable difference was /etc/localtime. Just the broken one had undergone light savings (BRST). Unfortunaly, I can verify that, erasing /etc/localtime seems to do the trick. Our timezone is BRT and we are undergoing light savings (BRST). Perhaps, this information might prove useful. Does anyone else can verify that? I can't seem to find anything wrong with the zone files since all other binaries seems to be working. I can try a deeper look but I can't promise anything. I am not a zone expert. -- Mario S. F.
