Date: 27 Oct 1994 22:58:21 +0100 Organization: Fachhochschule fuer Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin, FB1 Lines: 18 Message-ID: <38p7pt$lkf@mars.fb1.fhtw-berlin.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: mars.fb1.fhtw-berlin.de X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I'm not a UNIX freak, my world is assembler programming :-) But I installed successfully FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and now I try to find out some things by reading manuals and "playing". My machine is a "simple" AT486SX with 20MByte RAM. The problem: The time and date which is dispayed by the command "date". I'm in Berlin, Europa, " not so far " from Greenwich. If I link /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Greenwich or /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin date displays a time of clock-time (which I can see in the board setup or in DOS) plus 8 or 9 hours???? If I link it to /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT-8 then I get the Berlin local time. What mistake did I made? Greetings
