Its way off of central time ;) I am not sure if you have to recompile the kernel or not, but the first step is to change the symbolic link, /etc/localtime. You are going to want to point it to something like /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central, /usr/share/zoneinfo/SystemV/CST6CDT, etc. You may also want to create the file /etc/cmos_wall_clock. >Also, how do I set it up so local users can use the talk command >it has a problem connectiong or something. Not sure about that one...I have not tried it on my BSD system but it looks like everything is there... >Thanks -- Benjamin Z. Goldsteen
