OK, yes you are right its a typo in SuSe system setting: SUSE LINUX 10.1 (X86-64) tail /etc/sysconfig/clock ## Type: string(Europe/Berlin,Europe/London,Europe/Paris) ## ServiceRestart: boot.clock # # Timezone (e.g. CET) # (this will set /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime) # TIMEZONE="UCT" DEFAULT_TIMEZONE="Europe/Berlin" Thanks a lot for your help.
