Scott, Thanks for replying and convincing me that I'm not completely out of my mind (at least as regards this problem). I too am running slink on another machine and had no problems with that one. And, yes, I agree glibc must be the underlying culprit. So far as cron goes, I'm not sure where the fault lies, but I saw the same problem. My final resolution was to copy into /etc an EST5EDT file that worked (see my reply to myself for the original post). After that I stopped and started cron, fetchmail running with -d, etc. Now all is well ... until tzconfig is run by an install upgrade! I'm sure my box is okay for the moment, but this manual intervention shouldn't be needed! - MikeT -- Michael E.
