im not sure why but there are 2 different settings for timezone. one is /etc/timezone and one is /etc/localtime haven't tried to determine what the difference is. but for pacific time here is what mine looks like: it-wa:/etc# cat timezone ; ls -l localtime America/Los_Angeles lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Nov 17 18:02 localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles i changed a potato system from UTC to PST by changing only those 2 files. then i ran ntpdate against my internal ntp server to make sure it was updated..and ran hwclock --systohc to synch the clocks. hth nate
