[OpenIndiana-discuss] Date/Time doesn't adjust to Day Light Saving time (EDT)

[Erdos New]

here're the current setting:

/etc/default/init shows:
 TZ=US/Eastern
CMASK=022
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

while  /etc/default/login  has:

#TIMEZONE=EST5EDT

 
erdos at openindiana:/etc/default$ echo $TZ

erdos at openindiana:/etc/default$


-erdos

NTP is not directly related to daylight savings time except for during 
the during the 24-hour interval when transitions in a given time zone 
may occur.  NTP only keeps UTC time correct.

Check the TZ value in /etc/default/init, or /etc/default/login 
TIMEZONE if you want login shells to behave differently than the rest 
of the system.

Do 'echo $TZ' to see the current setting that your shell is using.
