Fw: Time zone Update Suse 8.1 SURPRIZE SURPRIZE

[stephen goldman]

Thanks Dan,
    I found the DEFAULT TIMEZONE set to Pacific.

    Modified it (see below) -  The clock is off an hour-

    The time stated UTC but the config file says it's local time. Tried 
switching the HWCLOCK to UTC  ??


Close at this point - I found  the NTP.conf file that is the time server for 
this machine. It has not been touched yet !

Thanks,
Stephen
