Date: 17 Aug 1995 00:00:21 GMT Organization: Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Lines: 25 Distribution: usa Message-ID: <40u0ql$2jq@overload.lbl.gov> NNTP-Posting-Host: gracie.lbl.gov I have a problem to set correct time zone for FreeBSD. After entered xx:yy, then it doesn't matter which time zone I pick, the configuration program always shows me a wrong time and a wrong year. Here is the sequence: Please enter the local time using 24 hour style, 16:30 2 CMOS clock is set to local time 7 North and South America 44 United States 15 Pacific time Does 04:30:45 29.7.1992 PDT look reasonable? < Yes > < No > However, if I choose Yes, everything looks fine. If I pick No and try to pick up anything else, then time goes wrong. Should this be fixed in 2.1 Release? -- /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v ---- Internet: g_jin@lbl.gov ----\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!g_jin@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov |
