Re: Daylight Savings Time problem
I'm wondering if my getting the wrong time zone may have been caused by a
bug in one of the installation scripts (couldn't possibly have been my own
mistake ;) ). I don't know where to look, but maybe someone who does
might want to look to see if when a user installs and selects the Mountain
time zone, that the right file is being copied to /etc/localtime. The
right file would be /usr/lib/zoneinfo/US/Mountain (or
/usr/lib/zoneinfo/MST7MDT) not /usr/lib/zoneinfo/MST.
