Re: Daylight Savings Time problem
Apparently, I had the wrong time-zone file in /etc/localtime. I had MST
which I guess is for Mountain time zones that don't observe daylight
savings time (i.e. Arizona). I guess the file MST7MDT is the right file
for me (I'm in Utah). Can anybody verify this for me?
Thanks for all the assistance.
