Setting Time
 

My clock is all screwed up. I can't run the gui because it doesn't work. I'm using RH9.
When I run this command, /usr/bin/redhat-config-date
I get back this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

you can't go to system settings->date/time or right click the clock on your taskbar and go to adjust date/time?

Nope.

So you are saying something strange !!!

Do you have a file called

/etc/timezone

This is a binary file belonging to the glibc package.

Run

rpm -V glibc

to verify that this package is correctly installed.

Do you have a file /etc/sysconfig/clock?

This is a configuration file.

Make sure you have only the following lines present in your file --

ZONE="America/New_York"
UTC=false
ARC=false
