We discovered the fix M$ distributed doesn't work. They've know about the bug for 5 years and never fixed it. The bug only hits when savings time switches on 04/01. If we leave if along, it'll fix itself next week. In the mean time, all our real-time messaging is one hour off. It can cost us B

You can do this with timetool (from the control-panel), but the main thing is to make sure that /etc/sysconfig/clock has the right content. My RH7 one is ZONE="America/New_York" UTC=true ARC=false My RH6 one is ZONE="US/Eastern" UTC=true ARC=fals

Well MS did it to us again. NT4.0 has a bug for switching to savings time. MS missed the date by a week! We had to manually set the time offset manually. In a week, we'll have to set it back when NT correctly figures out that savings time has arrived. Appears to only occur on servers though.
