- No wonder, it's not there.
-
- Do this:
-
- cd /usr/lib/zoneinfo
- ls -i localtime
- This gives you the inode number for localtime. That file is just a hard link.
- ls -id * */* | grep <inode>
- Gives you the other names of that file (just to see what is currently set).
- rm localtime
- ln US/Eastern localtime
- (Or whatever you want.)
-
- If you repeat the procedure of looking for the inode number, you will
- find US/Eastern linked with EST5EDT, Jamaica, and posixrules.
- Why posixrules? I can't guess. Maybe POSIX is only valid on the
- east coast?
