hi sorry for delay in replying
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (i586) - Kernel 2.6.5-7.191-default
I have /etc/sysconfig and clock but not setclock
The person who set up this sys originally didn't change time to UTC
Prior to reboot I added TZ to .profile, this did change the time to UTC for a non root user account but sys time(from root) is UTC
Thanks for reading this!
