Hi Matthew Without wanting to confuse matters too much in my ignorance, here are a couple of points:
1. Never edit any non /mnt/kd files (there are two exceptions: see http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:tt_editable_files). The majority of the Astlinux file system is rebuilt via script on reboot, and many system and Asterisk files are in fact symlinks. 2. When you use the GUI to change timezone settings, this writes to /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/gui.network.conf - did you check what was present in this location, if anything? It can be confusing to work out exactly where the .conf files which are used actually are. See the note highlighted in yellow on the DAHDI page: http://doc.astlinux.org/userdoc:dahdi I've certainly managed to get correct timezone settings entirely via the GUI, never touching enything via CLI. Hope this helps Tom PS An outside chance - is your problem definitely with the system time, and not just with the timestamping of CDR entries?
