I'm based in Estonia, where we did not have DST past couple of years. This spring our government decided to have DST again. Couple of days ago, since I was not sure what the tzsetup thinks of our situation, I ran it and chose 'Europe/Finland'. It asked me if the abbreviation 'EET' looks correct. Since I didn't know why it wouldn't, I chose 'Yes'. So I assume my box should now be in Finnish timezone. Finland has had DST all the time, AFAIK. Still my FreeBSD machine did not apply DST automatically. I also moved the clock forward manually. Just as Martin Karlsson, I read the manpages for anything that 'apropos timezone' returns. date "+%Z" says just "EET", which I don't know what to think about. How can I find out if/when my FreeBSD box has plans to adjust itself to DST? BTW, my CMOS clock is set to local time. 'ps -ax | grep adj' shows that 'adjkerntz -i' is running. kuller# uname -a FreeBSD kuller.raad.tartu.ee 4.5-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE-p1 #0: Wed Feb 27 19:22:28 EET 2002 toomas@kuller.raad.tartu.ee:/mirror01/usr/obj/mirror01/usr/src/sys/KULLE R i386 -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Jesus has changed your life.
