ntpdate and Israel local time

[Yigal Asnis]

I'm not sure about Ubuntu, at least in Debian tzselect doesn't change time zone permanently. For this purpose "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" should be used.

Hi,

As has been said before, the Debian/Ubuntu/etc way to do this is to use tzselect.

Copying/linking the desired zone file to /etc/localtime will make it change for the timebeing, but you also need to make sure that /etc/timezone contains the correct timezone specification otherwise your timezone will change when you upgrade.  tzselect takes care of all this.

Geoff.
