While I'm not saying they're correct, every Linux dist I've tried uses it. I have a mixed shop, and every difference is a potential problem. I doubt that this affects many people, so consistency would not seem a hardship.

Which version of FreeBSD are you using? On my 14-CURRENT box, Hawaii is actually found in *two* locations in tzsetup: * America -- North and South -> United States of America -> Hawaii * Pacific Ocean -> United States of America -> Hawaii So that would serve all sides? :) As far as I can see, the menu is dynamically generated from /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone1970.tab, which has: US +211825-1575130 Pacific/HonoluluHawaii and seems to be up-to-date with regards to the IANA tz files. -Dimitry signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP
HST time zone
Hi, One thing that has bothered me for a long time is that the Pacific/Honolulu timezone is found under the America -- North and South/United States of America/Hawaii in tzsetup. Politics of Hawaiian Sovereignty aside, every other system I regularly install uses Pacific/Honolulu as it is in the official tzdb. Is there any reason why a patch to change to match the standard would be refused? thanks, dave c -- Honolulu, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi
