All,
I am having problems setting the system time to reflect the change to daylight
saving. After having checked as many man pages as I know, I have still no idea.
This is what I have done, all *before* daylight saving was due to begin:
1. Ran timezone, and selected "GB-Eire" and yes to daylight saving.
2. Added two lines to /etc/zoneinfo/sources/europe to set start and end dates of
British Summer Time (BST):
Rule GB-Eire 1997 only - Mar 23 1:00s 1:00 BST
Rule GB-Eire 1997 only - Oct Sun>=23 1:00s 0 GMT
3. Ran zic against this file.
System date did not change over on the date specified.
I have changed the system date to reflect BST (change to single-user mode, set
using the "date" utility, issue "mount -u /"), but the "date" utility still
returns a "GMT" time.
Note that originally when I did this, the start of BST was actually the
incorrect date (should have been 29 March), but the system still did not
automatically change over on 23 March.
Help! What have I done/missed? Must be something small....
regards,
Matt
