Hi there,
As some of you know we've just undergone a timezone change in the UK.
Anyway - it appears that our Freebsd box got it wrong and I'm now trying
to change the timzone from BST to GMT. If I use tzsetup the machine still
seems to think its BST which is wrong. So first question is where does
tzsetup get its information from? Is it the zoneinfo files, and if so
is this related to problem with the zoneinfo files (there was one on our
suns which we fixed by changing the relevant UK zoneinfo file and recompiling
them with zic).
If it isn't tzsetup how else can I change my machines timezone information?
Thanks for any help
Andy Hird
