I've used the utility TZSETUP and everything goes well... However, after a reboot, I type 'date', I still get GMT??? So then I tried doing it manually by copying the appropriate zoneinfo file over my localtime file but still no luck??? Is there something I'm not doing right? Please email me at: yves@streamwave.com Any help is appreciated... Thanks, Yves
