Problem with Setting the Time

[gideon_friedmann]

I have a problem setting the Tivo time.
When I run fixtivotime I get the following message:

Our postcode is 2007
. No matching timezone for postcode 2007

However I did build this postcode into my postcodezones file which is placed in the /etc directoy. Below is my postcodezones file:

# A list of TiVo postcodes and the timezones that they represent
# Two columns, separated by one tab only.
#
00800 Australia/Darwin
02000 Israel/Israel
02007 Israel/Israel
02600 Australia/Sydney
03000 Australia/Melbourne
04000 Australia/Brisbane
05000 Australia/Adelaide
06000 Australia/Perth
07000 Australia/Hobart



Similarly when I run the rdate command
TZ=Israel rdate -v 207.126.98.204

I get

Failed to find zone information ((null),:/var/hack/zoneinfo/Israel)

even though the directory Israel is found in

/var/hack/zoneinfo/

and contains a file called Israel.

What is happening??

Thanks,

Gideon.

The listing for Israel is not a directory but rather a file, try adding the entries as follows:
02000 Israel
02007 Israel

If that doesn't work then setting the location to either of the following options should fix your problem:
Asia/Jerusalem
Etc/GMT+2

You need an entry in you file without the leading zero. Something like:

2007  Israel/Israel

This assumes that you have installed the Israel zoneinfo file in a directory called /var/hack/zoneinfo/Israel... however if you followed the instructions here, then you would need the following entry (as the file will be located in /var/hack/zoneinfo):

2007 Israel
