hi, I have a strange-for-me problem. I am one of those paranoid guys, who has added "ntpdate time.nist.gov" to the crontab to be executed every day. the problem is that, every night the system time is set 1 hour earlier of the actual time. i.e it is executed at 23:00 and is set to 22:00 after ntpdate, as far as I could observe. I am pretty confused about the subject. Tried different timezone names, etc, hence more confused. I also have a problem with the name of the timezone. which timezone name do you choose guys? US/Eastern? America/Newyork? GMT+5? EST? EDT? or any other? I am using slackware-current. set the timezone to America/New_York and whenever I send a mail, sylpheed shows my timezone as GMT-4 and #date shows my timezone as EDT. any comments. other than removing the crontab job? :) thanks, baris
i have ntpd constantly running and my /etc/localtime is linked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern ... this is Slackware 8.0 running hwclock shows my time as the current time that it should be ... the /usr/share/zoneinfo/ setup seems to be distro dependent so only slackware peeps should be able to give help on this one ... -mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Baris Hasdemir" <penguen@hasdemir.com> To: "wlug" <wlug@mail.wlug.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2002 05:04 Subject: [Wlug] timezone

It's been a couple of years since i've used slack. But redhat has a util called "tzselect" debian has a util called "tzconfig" does slack have anything similar? On Wed, 8 May 2002, Baris Hasdemir wrote:
