Actually, your time zone hasn't changed (so no need to run tzconfig), but cron and syslog have been restarted (after upgrading) thinking they are in a different time zone. (It's a known problem on debian-devel with cron, although I don't remember syslogd being mentioned). To fix it, just restart those daemons. As root, run /etc/init.d/cron restart /etc/init.d/sysklogd restart Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
