Bombe) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc Subject: correct timezone setting in kernal config? Date: 17 Jul 96 21:16:25 +0100 Organization: ccn computer consultant network GmbH Lines: 22 Message-ID: <839.6772T1276T1250@munich.netsurf.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: ns036.munich.netsurf.de X-Newsreader: THOR 2.31 (Amiga;TCP/IP) *UNREGISTERED* Missed some parts of the FAQ in *.announce, so could ya please help... I live in timezone MET DST currently. My hardware clock is set to local time. But if I set MET DST to be the timezone in NetBSD, the clock is presumed to be GMT and is 'fixed' so I get wrong times. I know there is a timezone setting in the kernal configs, but I don't what the number exactly represents (positive or negative fixes from GMT), and compiling by trial and error just takes too long, so someone help me please?
