1 Hi all,
2 The solution to this is eluding me. What changes, other than changing
3 /etc/timezone, are required to get a Gentoo machine to recognize that it
4 has moved physically and is living in a new timezone?

6 I've just moved from Silicon Valley to Tucson, AZ. The machine came up
7 fine other than time being off by 1 hour which I expected. I changed
8 /etc/timezone from America/Los_Angeles to America/Phoenix and rebooted and
9 yet time is still showing California time.

11 The system clock is UTC. Current Tucson local time as I write this is
12 about 8:26AM:

30 What have I forgotten to configure?

32 If it matters the machine is at least 6 years old and could have lots of
33 older Gentoo stuff lurking in the background.

35 Thanks,
