Does your system know which time your hardware clock is set to? Otherinfo you posted leads me to think that it does not.mandrake uses /etc/sysconfig/clock which stores what the hardware clock is set to ARC=false UTC=true ZONE=Pacific/Auckland
Although this may be not quite what you want to do, you may be able to identify the exact problem by doing a little tweaking with the time settings.
I, and probably many others, use the system time set to local instead of GMT. If you try changing that on your system and see if PAN then posts with the proper time it would be concrete information that Charles can use to find/fix the bug.
Although I have not had that problem, I believe Pan is looking at the system time and then adjusts the time of the post to UCT. If PAN is not recognizing that the system time is actually GMT and still makes its adjustment to UCT based on the time zone rather than the actual system time then that behavior should be reported as a bug.
that /etc/localtime is a symlink to whichever time zone you're in. In my case, this is /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern, and my BIOS clock is set tothis is similar in mandrakeGMT. There's another setting in /etc/rc.conf that deals with whether theBIOS is set to GMT or local time. Does Mandrake have similar files? If not, there's probably a cute graphical widget somewhere that controls it. ;)yep there are too many graphical widgets, but they are all reading the same configuration info and the system is reporting the time correctly with the date command (even vmware corrects windows time)so unlike dual booting systems where windows gets it wrong, running windows in vmware will get it right, albeit with the hardware clock set to a timezone half a planet away. BUT pan records the time of a post incorrectly;Sun, 14 Dec 2003 18:40:04 +1300 _________________________________________________________________Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
