I sent this to a MkLinux list, but there's been really little traffic
since they switched mail servers and so I figured I'd ask this here, since
this list seems about a thousand times more active right now.  ;-)  It's
also just as appropriate/inappropriate, since I tried it on puma with the
same result.  ;-)

I'm having some trouble with gettimeofday(), specifically the
timezones....

	struct timezone tz;
	.
	.
	.
        if (!gettimeofday(NULL, &tz)) {
		tmhour=tmhour+(ustr[user].gmtbias+((tz.tz_minuteswest)/60));
                write_user(user,mess);
                }
        else {
                write_user(user,"gettimeofday() failed in tz_set\n\r");
                tmhour=tmhour+(ustr[user].gmtbias-GLOBAL_BIAS);
                }

gettimeofday always returns 0 (success), but the minuteswest is also
always zero.  Not having any experience with this call, I've turned
HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY off in my code (always have a backup plan)... but I'd
really like to fix the problem rather than just patch around it....


Ideas?
