Content-Type: text Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ok - In previous installs; when setting the timezone, it always asked if my PCs clock was UTC (Greenwich mean time) or local time. Apparently, in 2.2-BETA that adjustment is no longer made, and UTC is assumed. My machine's clock is localtime (I just verified it in the setup), and although my /etc/localtime has the correct timezone for me (EST) - the values are off by 5 hours. Has adjtime "gone away" for 2.2? Or, is this just an install problem? - Dave Rivers -
