I remember doing it about 3 or 4 years ago on a working system, as opposed to one that I'm installing from tape/CD-ROM, but when the time change happened here last Sunday, all of my systems were off an hour because I think I selected the PST/election-year-DST timezone (or whatever that crazy one is), and I swear that I spent 1/2 hour sifting through the man pages and nowhere did I find as concise a method as Jim posted! mike -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mike bender DOD# 007 for sale: NX-650 & VT110 Shadow 415-863-8913 (home) bender@oobleck.eng.sun.com nothin' witty here 415-336-6353 (work) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
