Re: [Plug] [Fwd: 4.7 : date/time stamp on e-mail is wrong!!!]


Ha! I finally fixed my timezone problem. I had to create a symlink
/usr/lib/zoneinfo that points to /usr/share/zoneinfo. I don't know how this got
screwed up. I suppose RedHat changed the default directory for zoneinfo, but
the rest of my system forgot to look in the new share directory after getting
hacked. Oh well. Works now. --Josh
