I have a similar situation with my FC4 servers in California. I want them in MY local time. I did it before with overwriting a timezone file with the desired timezone, but I prefer a cleaner solution. -Fred ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

/usr/sbin/timeconfig, I believe. (seems similar to tzselect, but actually makes changes.) --DTVZ ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Argh - setting timezone from command line in FC
All the references I can find via google tell me how easy it is to set the server time zone with the grapohical tool... how do I do it from the command line in FC3? --Drew Van Zandt ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Indeed, I have run tzselect, and... it has no effect. --DTVZ ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

But why two programs? Further investigation reveals: $ dpkg -S `which tzsetup`;dpkg -S `which tzconfig` base-config: /usr/sbin/tzsetup libc6: /usr/sbin/tzconfig $ ls -l /usr/sbin/tz tzconfig tzsetup $ ls -l /usr/sbin/tz* -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 3142 2004-10-01 02:26 /usr/sbin/tzconfig -rwxr-xr-x1 root root 4854 2002-05-01 15:19 /usr/sbin/tzsetup Very strange indeed. From the man pages, it appears that tzsetup is by a different author (Joey Hess) than tzconfig and tzselect (Marcus Brinkman). I don't think that's helpful though :) -- Seeya, Paul ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
