Two questions: 1) I currently have my time zone variable set to TZ='EST05:00:00EDT04:00:00;M4.1.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/02:00:00' as suggested in environ(M). I have heard that Congress moved the days around recently. Could someone tell me what the new daylight savings times are or give me a new TZ value? 2) Could someone please tell me what /dev/recover is for? There are two lines in /etc/rc that say tr < /dev/recover > /etc/bootlog echo "\000\c" | dd of=/dev/recover bs=10k conv=sync 2> /dev/null and I am at a loss to understand why they are there.
