Hiya...

Rumour is that it affects daylight savings time.  I think if your time zone
does not follow the fall-behind leap-ahead effects, you can remove that
line.

As an educated guess: ADJust KERNal TimeZone

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

why is "adjkerntz -a" run several times in the early morning from
/etc/crontab?

# time zone change adjustment for wall cmos clock,
# does nothing, if you have UTC cmos clock.
# See adjkerntz(8) for details.
1,31    0-5     *       *       *       root    adjkerntz -a

i've looked in the mail archives and adjkerntz(8) and nothing
mentions why it is run several times over a five hour period.

thanks

Zach
