Can anyone shed any light on this one?
<p>Compaq Prosignia 165 Laptop: Red Hat Linux 6.2
<br>#> date returns the correct time and date, and indicates GMT-6, (I
am in the Central Time Zone of the USA)
<br>Time Machine (in the Control Panel) shows correct time and date
<br>Time and date display on "Task Bar" is correct
<br>Time and date stamp in email message is correct
<br>Time and date stamp in email Inbox list is NOT correct.
<p>According to our Mail administrator:
<br>"...if I view full headers I can see the correct time between the
<br>servers, i.e. 21:29 which is military time for 9:29 PM, however in
the
<br>inbox your message shows up as 9:29 AM -- exactly 12 hours off.""
<p>Also she says..."You may want to experiment with the TIMEZONE file and
see if it is set
<br>correctly to -0600 (or Central Standard Time), i.e. TZ=CST6CDT
(flavors may vary)
<br>Timezone = Central Standard Time 6(hours off of GMT) w/ Central Daylight
Savings Time used."
<p>Although I know what the TIMEZONE file is (seen it on different
flavors of UNIX), I don't see one on this machine.
