Re: setting the system time?

Hi,

My new install of Debian 4.0 seems to have the wrong time, it says
right now:

Tue Aug 12 09:42:34 UTC 2008

but the correct time is:

Tue Aug 12 05:42:00 EST 2008

The time itself seems to be correct. Note that it says UTC, not EST.
You can change the timezone with `dpkg-reconfigure tzdata'.

Regards,
Ansgar
