Greetings Debianistas
My wife's machine (Debian Etch, clean install) is consistently showing
Europe/Guernsey (BST) in its clock settings and somehow this is always
one hour ahead of real time.
I have checked the BIOS clock which is set to the regular time and I
don't think that it is set to UTC. Also, the time-zone should read
Europe/London. I have tried numerous ways of altering this, even killing
off gdm so that I can login as root to fix it in Gnome. Then, reboot,
and it's back to being 1 hour ahead again.
What can I do to fix this, as it is a real PITA to keep having to fix it
for her, and let's face it, it shouldn't be necessary to do so.
Is the timezone set in her environment? What does /etc/localtime link
to?
Regards,

Hi Roberto
How do I find out what /etc/localtime links to? It is a binary file.
There doesn't appear to be a config file, nor any man pages.
Thanks
A
