Pointers? You probably need to make sure your TIMEZONE in /etc/conf.d/clock and/or=20 or /etc/localtime are set properly. Generally, you DON'T want to set them to CST (or similar) since that=20 doesn't=20 sf/fb either (instead most of the area covered by CST switches to CDT),=20 although some like CST6CDT might work. Instead you'll want to use (Type/)Region/(SubRegion/)City for a city that=20 uses=20 the same timezone rules as you. E.g. America/Chicago,=20 America/Kentucky/Monticello, posix/US/Central, or=20 right/America/Indiana/Knox (All the timezones supported by your libc are under /usr/share/zoneinfo.) =2D-=20 Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,=3D ,-_-. =3D.=20 bss03@volumehost.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-'=20 http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/ =20 --nextPart5220157.Ra2hgHSzJy Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGJ0HZ55pqL7G1QFkRAs9GAJ9mQuueQ2WIZZNiTJZ3r0T+znyrzACfdWVX Tq6v/CYx8NA2BF3sL6/TkCU= =8uyn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart5220157.Ra2hgHSzJy-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
