Configuring the computer's time

Applicable to
S.u.S.E. version: 4.2 and previous ones

Symptom:

The computer has a wrong winter/summer time.

Cause:

The timezone entries were not correct up to 4.2 inclusive. The computer would change to winter time one month earlier.

Solution:

From 4.3 on correct timezone entries are available. Set your computer's BIOS hour to GMT. Enter this in the file /etc/rc.config :

GMT=-u

For Germany, it is recommended as timezone:

TIMEZONE=Europe/Berlin
