What is local time for a computer? What if you have different users with different locales and different time zones? What if your local jurisdiction makes changes to local time (such as advancing DST)? What if you move to a different time zone and take your computer? The Linux kernel keeps time in UTC (effectively the same as GMT) and converts it on the fly for presentation to users using the time zone database and the user's locale. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
