I think I fixed it. I noticed that the symlink /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime pointed to /etc/localtime, which did not exist. I created /etc/localtime as a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York. /etc/timezone already contained the string America/New_York. It seems to be working now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
