I should have mentioned in my previous message, that the file /etc/wall_cmos_clock does NOT exist. I was using this feature before, however, and running PST on the internal cmos clock. I changed the cmos clock to UTC/GMT, and removed wall_cmos_clock, and re-directed /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Pacific. I have noted, however, that the mode of localtime is 755, not 777, as the default localtime was set. A chmod 777 localtime seems to have no effect. As far as I can tell, the internal cmos UTC time should be automatically offset by -8 hrs to arrive at PST. Somehow it's being left as is, and UTC is showing up as PST on the machine. This is confusing! Kevin -- Kevin McQuiggin VE7ZD mcquiggi@sfu.ca
