Great info. I edited the /etc/sysconfig/clock file and did what you said. I did also: cp -p /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime. I'll probably schedule a reboot, just to be sure all is clean. NTPd is already running. Checking /usr/share/zoneinfo/, i saw GMT, GMT0, GMT-0, GMT+0, UTC & Greenwich. Does anybody knows the differences between all these or could provide a link to a reference? I found some infos but nothing that explains the subtlety. I made a diff and they are binary different. I just want to understand better what happened to us and the "time" thing!
