You must have root privileges. | | In order to get the particular zone you wish you must locate and record | the path of the file within the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/ that has | the filename which best describes the desired timezone. Some common | examples which you may use are: | | /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York | /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles | /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London | /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Bahrain | /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC | | Next Vi the file /etc/sysconfig/clock. It will look something like this: | | ZONE="America/New_York" | UTC=true | ARC=false | | Set the ZONE variable to the file path you selected, leaving off the | path root of “/usr/share/zoneinfo/”. Leave UTC set to true, it should | only be set to false on dual boot machines with Windows installed. The | ARC option is relevant to Alpha machines only, should be set to false | here. It indicates the ARC console's 42-year time offset is in effect. | If not set to true, the normal Unix epoch is assumed. Save and exit out | of Vi. | | Now you need to link the file /etc/localtime to the selected zoneinfo file: | | [root@ctpview]# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York | /etc/localtime | | The last step is to reboot the server: | | [root@ctpview]# shutdown -r now | | You can check the new settings with: | | [root@ctpview]# date | Fri Apr 8 09:50:49 EDT 2005 | | == END ============ | | --Bob | | Truls Gulbrandsen wrote: | |> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- |> |> Hi, |> can someone please assist me in setting the correct time zone. |> Regards, |> Truls | | Thanks a lot Bob, but there are some hurdles here. Firstly, my /usr/share/zoneinfo/ is empty and secondly I don't have Vi but probably I can use gedit? and lastly I do have a dual boot with W2k so I should go for the UTC=false options? regards, Truls -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCwdu7ickK29LSyG8RApXTAJ0exeKOfTS6bweGQYSlKIYTHDPPaACgxWrP TeWKgGDoRjh/QLhvFjlGId8= =fNOA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
