Usually, you link the appropriate time zone from /usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime. On my system it is defined like this: mgogala@medo ~]$ ls -l /etc/localtime lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 38 Jan 2 2014 /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/ zoneinfo/America/New_York [mgogala@medo ~]$ You should do the same since Wall Street rules the world and it is, after all, in New York City. -- Mladen Gogala The Oracle Whisperer http://mgogala.byethost5.com
