Re: Time Zone
One way is to log in as root and run setup.

Wow - that was quick. Thanks! Next question - I can use 'date' to set the time - but how do I set BIOS time?? (Or view it, for that matter). Or is it setting BIOS time? I'd always thought it was just manipulating OS time. I'd like to leave the BIOS set at GMT (I'm in London, UK) but am having problems getting the OS to think about British Summer Time (GMT + 1 for 6 months of the year). The best time zone I can find is 'Europe/London'. IS this BST aware? Is there a better solution?

Any idea where? > /etc/sysconfig/clock > > UTC=no > No, that one gets fixed by timeconfig. I've got some extracts from /var/log/messages that say where things go wrong. Unfortunately that doesn't tell me what to fix. The first set comes from bootup: Nov 23 05:33:21 collatz atd: atd startup succeeded Nov 23 07:33:06 collatz rc.sysinit: Loading default keymap succeeded Nov 23 07:33:06 collatz rc.sysinit: Setting default font succeeded ... Nov 23 07:33:14 collatz fsck: /dev/hda6: clean, 9181/132600 files, 113856/529168 blocks Nov 23 07:33:14 collatz rc.sysinit: Checking filesystems succeeded Nov 23 07:33:16 collatz rc.sysinit: Mounting local filesystems succeeded Nov 23 07:33:16 collatz rc.sysinit: Turning on user and group quotas for local f ilesystems succeeded Nov 23 05:33:19 collatz date: Tue Nov 23 05:33:19 SAST 1999 Nov 23 05:33:19 collatz rc.sysinit: Setting clock : Tue Nov 23 05:33:19 SAST 199 9 succeeded Nov 23 05:33:19 collatz rc.sysinit: Enabling swap space succeeded Nov 23 05:33:19 collatz init: Entering runlevel: 3 So when atd starts, it gets information that time is GMT and resets system time. Then it stays there for a while, until rc.sysinit obviously working off /etc/sysconfig/clock as it should, sets the clock back to the hardware reading. The next extract comes from a point when apmd made my screen go blank: Nov 23 09:37:16 collatz PAM_pwdb[285]: (login) session opened for user dirk by ( uid=0) Nov 23 12:47:28 collatz apmd[122]: Resume after 02:16:53 (65% unknown) Nov 23 13:01:19 collatz sudo: dirk : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/dirk/kantoor/navo rs/artikels/gauss-survey ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/hwclock --hctosys Nov 23 11:02:26 collatz sudo: dirk : TTY=tty1 ; PWD=/home/dirk/kantoor/navor s/artikels/gauss-survey ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/less /var/log/messages I had been working for about an hour and then went for tea. Coming back, I reactivated the screen, discovered that GMT had reasserted itself, and manually reset the system clock. These two-hour jumps to and fro can't be good for the integrity of the system. IMHO the above behaviour is a bug, caused by some old code somewhere that dates back to the days before we had /etc/sysconfig. But where does that code get its information?
