List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: I noticed today that somehow my clock is set to UTC which in itself is ok. The trouble is, my machine is on EDT which has a -4 hour offset, except that my clock is reporting EDT as UTC. In other words, it is 4 hours ahead of what it should be. I wasn't worried about it until Luke send me a TAR file. When I did the tar command it complained loudly that the file was created in the future. It worked, but I really need to fix this. How to I tell the silly machine that it needs to have an offset of -4. Rejean Proulx Visit my family at http://interfree.ca MSN is: rejp@rogers.com Ham License VA3REJ
