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.
