Date: 23 Sep 1993 15:18:04 -0500 Organization: The University of Texas - Austin Lines: 15 Message-ID: <27t09s$jl@sylvester.cc.utexas.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: sylvester.cc.utexas.edu I am in central standard time (CST). I believe this is GMT+7. My unix system clock always reads two hours fast. My /etc/localtime is a copy of: /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central Is there another file I should be using? Should I have DST enabled or disabled in my BIOS? When I disable it, I believe it only gets worse (3 or 4 hours off). Also, the time command reads "CDT" instead of "CST" on the end. Please help me, I know little about the oodles of timezone files in /usr/share/zoneinfo. It seems like you'd only need twenty four files. Thanks. -- Protect our endangered bandwidth - reply by email.
