| 391832 | 2005-09-28 23:15:00 | I struck this issue with FC4. My work around (coz I didn't know of Chilling_Silence's way) was to install ntpd (network time protocol daemon) and set it for a nz time server (tk1.ihug.co.nz is one, just google nz time server) | Myth (110) | ||
| 391833 | 2005-09-28 23:20:00 | Hehe, To be honest I do just what Tazz has said with my 64-bit PC. Works quite well :) |

| 391834 | 2005-09-28 23:22:00 | It's set to pacific Auckland, but it is UTC rather than localtime which i think is what is causing the problem Read something about this in an old redhat manual but couldn't work out how to get around it rm /etc/localtime ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland /etc/localtime What exactly does the above do I realise it creates a symbolic link, does this mean it is telling the system that localtime = auckland time so don't reset bios clock? sorry if I sound a bit obtuse symbolic links always confuse me |

| 391836 | 2005-09-29 06:26:00 | no file or folder called localtime in /etc/ I'll try the other suggestions tomorrowI've just looked at my Mepis install, and it has a /etc/localtime which was just a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/NZ. However, I have just changed it by doing the same commands Chill posted, removing the old /etc/localtime and then created a new symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Pacific/Auckland instead of NZ this time. Works fine either way. :) Having no local time set in the first place might be why you had no existing /etc/localtime symlink file. |

| 391837 | 2005-09-29 21:22:00 | Ok that makes sense so basically I just run the second command olast time I stopped after the first one failed, as i wasn't sure if it was a case of a different distro putting things in different place |
