Is there some sort of updated time zone > data that I need? Thanks in advance. Our server BIOS clocks are set to UTC. To ensure UTC time in FBSD, I've always removed the file /etc/localtime. FBSD will default to UTC if it can not find /etc/localtime (at least that's what I've witnessed since FBSD 5.5). ------ _|_ |_| |
