how is the time supposed to be set in a linux system?
is the system clock supposed to be set to GMT, and then
a time-zone set? i can't seem to find anything in the
linux stuff that mentions this, although the school suns
seem to have support for both GMT and local time.
( i was playing with xearth and noticed the sun was in
the wrong place... about 7 hours wrong (pacific daylight time))
well one way to do it
is to play with the kernel
i have found it in the
Unix administration hanbook ( or something of
that title ) the book is mentioned in the linux faq
