So it knows nothing about timezone offsets. The latter is really a "cosmetic" display & entry option when the binary time is expressed in ASCII for us humans. So there is no real time value change due to DST; the internal value doesn't change at all. Only the entry and display offsets get changed. This is how Unix has worked for years.
You can choose to have your devices display time any way you like. If you do nothing, they will display time as UTC. If you want them to reflect the local timezone, you must tell them what zone they live in. - Marty Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=57108&t=57076 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
