Hm, set your hardware clock to UTC and do as root: rm /etc/localtime ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Newfoundland /etc/localtime should work... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newfoundland_Standard_Time_Zone suggests that it was changed just recently. Make sure your timezone-data ebuild is up to date and installed. In order to get an 2007 version, you might need to architecture unmask it. http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm has wealth of information regarding zoneinfo. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
