Not certain this is a bug, but it sure looks like one. A program running in the normal Unix file system uses files and directories to determine the proper time zone for the time of day. But when you create a chroot environment, these files don't exist anymore and, at least on my Sun4, the time reflects GMT. Apparently, there is no way to get the real local time without duplicating appropriate files in the chroot area - or am I missing a trivial fix? -- ----------------- \Management /\/| 216-686-0090 - PO Box 1480, Hudson, OH 44236 \ /\/ | Check out info-security heaven and test your system \/\ /\/ | for known vulnerabilities (1st time for free) at URL: \/Analytics| (scans deeper than SATAN or ISS) http://all.net:8080 ----------------- Read "Protection and Security on the Information Superhighway" John Wiley and Sons, 1995 ISBN 0-471-11389-1, 320 pp, $24.95
