RH9 Time Zone
I am unable to change local Time to GMT. For example my date always shows;
Wed Mar 31 10:32:03 AST 2004.
So How do I get the system to output the following;
Wed Mar 31 10:32:03 GMT 2004
What I have done so far;
1) Sys clock os set to UTC.
2)/etc/sysconfig/clock:
*************
ZONE="GMT"
UTC=true
ARC=false
*************
3)Did not find any time zone selection in the bios.
Is there another file that needs to be configured or another service to be restarted? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

the file could be remove before you make the ls.
the ls -s option create a file /etc/localtime in this example.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I had a production server go down. Anyway that works very well and I have learned something new. Many thanks

I would ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Greenw
So will this over ride the /etc/localtime or does this file have to be removed.
