Hi, Currently it seems timezone in general has a problem related to backward zone names and entries in zone.tab. Every time the name of a zone changes, its entry is replaced in zone.tab file and added to backward file as a Link, until now no problem, but after you install timezone how you can get the zone.tab entry when using the old zone name? Is there a way to do this, or shouldn't both the new and old zone name stay in zone.tab? For now I made this set of commands to add back zone names to zone.tab based on backward file: chmod +w zone.tab echo -e "\n# zone info for backward zone names" >> zone.tab cat backward | grep Link | while read link curr old; do if [ -z "$curr" -o -z "$old" ]; then echo "Error processing backward entry for zone.tab" exit 1 fi cat zone.tab | grep -v '^#' | grep "$curr" | \ while read l; do if [ "`echo \"$l\" | awk 'BEGIN { FS = \"[\t]\" } \ { print $3 }'`" = "$curr" ]; then echo "$l" | sed "s|$curr|$old|" >> zone.tab \ || echo ERROR >> zone.tab else echo ERROR >> zone.tab fi done done if grep -q "^ERROR" zone.tab; then echo "Error adding backward entries to zone.tab" exit 1 fi Without old zone names in zone.tab, problems like this can happen when applications still use old zone names: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=40184 Other solution would be to just install backward file in the system to allow applications to know the zone that changed names and use the new name. -- []'s Herton
