For future reference a quick check at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html will save everyone a lot of time, including you. Also, this is a general fbsd question, and doesn't really belong on the -isp list, although I'm not as anal about this as Jordan. I actually think it's kind of nice to have a "knowledgable and friendly" list where a little digression is not a bad thing. I actually refer potential converts to the -isp list for a feel of how freebsd is used for "real work," but I digress. :) >How do you change the time zone on a machine? su to root, /stand/sysintall, Configure, Time Zone. When you're done, you also might want to touch /etc/wall_cmos_clock to make sure it's synched, and check out the man pages for adjkerntz. This does lead me to a question I've been meaning to ask though.. why doesn't date work as advertised? I know we have /stand/sysinstall, but it would be nice if date did this function since the man pages say it's 'posed to. :) Good luck, Doug The man who fears nothing, loves nothing.
