Time setting - local time?

[Johann Spies <jhspies@futurenet.co.za>]

Hallo,

Since I have upgraded my Debian system to Slink, my clock is not showing
the local time - universal time instead.  That is when I use it as user.

Look at this:

root@Johann(13)$ date
Mon Jun 14 23:41:26 SAST 1999

That is the correct time but about a minute before that:

jhspies@Johann(17)$ date
Mon Jun 14 21:40:16 /etc/localtime 1999


The following information has been given:

        South Africa

Therefore TZ='Africa/Johannesburg' will be used.
Local time is now:      Mon Jun 14 23:41:18 SAST 1999.
Universal Time is now:  Mon Jun 14 21:41:18 UTC 1999.
Is the above information OK?
1) Yes
2) No
#? 1


It seems that the system reports universal time for the user and local
time for root.  I want to use local time.  How do I correct that?
