Setting your timezone in FreeBSD

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

FreeBSD provides a utility tzsetup which provides a graphical user interface to select the time zone, unfortunately this list is sorted by geographic region, and is clumsy for what I want to do.

To set your system timezone manually, select the correct timezone entry from /usr/share/zoneinfo. When you find the timezone you want, copy it over to /etc/localtime. In my case:

# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT localtime
# adjkerntz -a (adjkerntz = adjust kernal timezone)
