    | Truls,

    | Here is a short howto that I put together last year if you want to
    | adjust your timezone from the command line:
    |
    | === START ============
    |
    | These are instruction for changing the timezone of a linux computer from
    | the command line. You must have root privileges.
    |
    | In order to get the particular zone you wish you must locate and record
    | the path of the file within the directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/ that has
    | the filename which best describes the desired timezone. Some common
    | examples which you may use are:
    |
    | /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York
    | /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
    | /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London
    | /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Bahrain
    | /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC
    |
    | Next Vi the file /etc/sysconfig/clock. It will look something like this:
    |
    | ZONE="America/New_York"
    | UTC=true
    | ARC=false
    |
    | Set the ZONE variable to the file path you selected, leaving off the
    | path root of “/usr/share/zoneinfo/”. Leave UTC set to true, it should
    | only be set to false on dual boot machines with Windows installed. The
    | ARC option is relevant to Alpha machines only, should be set to false
    | here. It indicates the ARC console's 42-year time offset is in effect.
    | If not set to true, the normal Unix epoch is assumed. Save and exit out
    | of Vi.
    |
    | Now you need to link the file /etc/localtime to the selected zoneinfo
    file:
    |
    | [root@ctpview]# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York
    | /etc/localtime
    |
    | The last step is to reboot the server:
    |
    | [root@ctpview]# shutdown -r now
    |
    | You can check the new settings with:
    |
    | [root@ctpview]# date
    | Fri Apr 8 09:50:49 EDT 2005
    |
    | == END ============

    Thanks a lot Bob, but there are some hurdles here. Firstly, my
    /usr/share/zoneinfo/ is empty and secondly I don't have Vi but probably
    I can use gedit? and lastly I do have a dual boot with W2k so I should
    go for the UTC=false options?

    regards,
    Truls
