From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux) Description of problem: The system time and the hardware time are correct, but when the time is passed to Squirrelmail the timestamp on all email is +6 hours. The date command shows the time zone as UTC even though America\Chicago (CST) has been set with the dateconfig utility. The 'This machine uses UTC' check box is not selected. The file for the time zone, /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago, registers 0 kb as does the file for CST (/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central). Output using date command: Wed Jan 29 13:42:24 UTC 2003 Expected Output: Wed Jan 29 13:42:24 CST 2003 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Additional info:
If you cannot reproduce this problem outside of this unsupported package I see no way to handle it. In fact, I doubt that you can reproduce it outside, time handling works just fine for everybody else. I suspect this is either some screwup in your configuration or (more likely) a programming error in this package you are trying to use. I would suggest you first get RHL9 and then the latest version of said package. And try it on a freshly installed machine.
No reply in almost 6 months. As I said before, this is most probably an application problem. Closing the bug now.
