Hi Sun worshippers,
I have a solaris 8 box in a country 1 hour ahead of the uk.
I have therefore set the /etc/TIMEZONE TZ to GMT+1.
I set the time to local time with date <localtime>.
Two problems:
1) When I do the date command, it writes GMT - why doesn't it write GMT+1?
2) When I do date -u, it gives me a time on hour ahead of local time -
not standard GMT time. If I set the time to GMT+2, then date -u
gives me the time 2 hours AHEAD of local time!!!!! not what i expected
What am i doing wrong?
kind regards,
Sammy
