This is a known problem and redhat needs to fix. Its a problem with
Glibc and should be fixed sometime in the future.

For the present why not just create a simple shell script to startup
BRU in which you set the TZ=*DT then when it finishes set TZ=
to reset the TZ.

Or just open a shell and do this:
export TZ=*DT
xbru

then when it finishes 
export TZ=

Kludgy, but should work for now.

I use Amanda myself, however BRU is a nice package and I'm sure this 
problem is being given some consideration, however RedHat has their
hands full right now with the new distribution.

pe> I have timeconfig set to:

pe> the date command gives me this:

pe> [root@beast /root]# date
pe> Fri May  1 09:38:59 PDT 1998 <-- correct time
pe> [root@beast /root]# date -u
pe> Fri May  1 16:39:04 UTC 1998 <-- not sure if this is right...

pe> now for the clock command:

pe> [root@beast /root]# clock -r
pe> Fri May  1 16:41:05 1998  -0.753123 seconds <---- again, not sure if this
pe> is good
pe> [root@beast /root]# clock -ru
pe> Fri May  1 09:41:10 1998  -0.107941 seconds <----- this is correct, for
pe> local time.

pe> Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?
