Dear Doug,
Check the /etc/defaul/locale file.
Mine is : # File generated by grml-setlang on Tue Dec 26 20:13:23 UTC 2006 LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 TZ=America/New_York # other environment variables you might want to set: # LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY # LC_MESSAGES LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE # LC_MEASUREMENT LC_IDENTIFICATION # Notice: set LC_ALL to overwrite all LC_* variables
Note that it was set by grml script grml-setlang.
It seems that whatever else is anywhere, if this file is not right, the others make little difference.
All good wishes,
Martin

Ok, I am sorry I am writing about this again. However, here's whyu. I pulled in my mail today, and I had 104 messages, most of them absolute and total first order junk. Well, mailfilter to the rescue, and, as far as I know now, I am getting only the messages I want.
Well, I need to know how to solve this: I have runb tzconfig as root, and set the time zone to the proper us-eastern. Tzconfig says, on repeated runs that this is what I am set to. However, I still, when running date, get results in CET. My TZ invironmental variable didn't change when I ran the configuration program. Shœuld I just change this variable's value, then run ntpdate on the time server?
Thanks.
