Local timezone for Users?

[hostcp3]

Any idea's on this.

setup a local time zone in users accounts to over-ride the server settings.

we tried a file in

/home/user/etc/profile

TZ='Country/City'
Export TZ


didn't work, appreciate any feedback.

thanks.

Howdy!

What's it for? If it's for cgi, lots of programs allow you to set the time and date, so it shouldn't be that hard to add it in...

Hey Casey

we need this so that any programs running off that user account will use the time zone we specify.

Instead of the default server time zone, and without having to modify any forums or scripts loaded into that particular account.

some servers have clients from across the globe, letting them specify time zone would be good.

thanks.

Hmm. Here's a link for Debian:

Perhaps in the case of RedHat it would be a symlink from home/usr/etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/LOCALTIMEZONE

hi, just wondering if you did find a way to do this, we also need change one of the users timezone in his account.

Thank you!
