Re: daylight savings time aint savin' ME time
Thanks, guys. That worked. But I'm still confused. Why is it
necessary to use tzconfig to change my timezone from EDT to EDT? That's
all I did, but now it behaves correctly. What does the install do
differently?
Also, It's not that I don't read docs. It just didn't occur to me that
I needed to change the timezone -- It was right, after all :)
