Only problem is that I am getting the time as an hour earlier than
it really is, since the new daylight savings time here in the US
went into effect over the weekend. I have my timezone set to EST.
Have you done an upgrade recently? The patches to libc6 went in
recently and an upgrade should take care of it. My system is
keeping correct time here on the Pacific coast.
Here's what I tried, but the date is still showing an hour too
early... help please.
