thank you all for replying to my email. here's what i tried after reading your replies: tzsetup /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Kiev tzsetup -r didn't help. i believe that sysinstall calls tzsetup as well, but i thought i'd try Ivan's suggestion anyway. here's the output of 'date' i get now: Sat Nov 5 00:21:52 FET 2011 the actual current time is 10.21 pm. any idea when an updated time zone file will become available? thanks. sasha _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
