Re: [squid-users] ACLs based on Time and LDAP groups

Yes, /etc/localtime seems to be corrupt. It is linked to an empty document.
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta is also empty. Copying a healthy file from
another machine is of no help, as it gets corrupted after sometime. How do I
check the TZ variable ?

I am lost on this. This is Out of topic, but any ideas ?

Michael Fuller
