When I saw the above post, I thought that it gave me the answer,=20 and tried to apply it, but had no success (I used both --utc and=20 --localtime). The legal time, here in France and at this (winter) period, is GMT + 1,=20 as shown correctly by the clock of my iMac, but "date" keeps returning=20 GMT + 2. Can anyone figure out the solution?
