DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Just bought a DNS-323, and I having a little trouble setting the time zone. I've been using unix-based operating systems for years, but I'm still a little newbish. Links to tutorials or articles are much appreciated.


System information:
===============
- Firmware 1.04
- Fun Plug 0.5


Trouble description:
===============
I am trying to set the time zone to MST (-0700 GMT) through both the web gui, and the /etc/TZ file. Upon rebooting, the time zone resets to the default.


What I've done so far:
===============
- Logged into the web gui, and set the time and date manually (not using ntp)
- Logged into the web gui, and set the ntp server to DLink NTP server (ntp1.dlink.com) and time zone to MST
- Logged into the web gui, and set the ntp server to ntp.cpsc.ucalgary.ca (I live in Calgary, AB) and the time zone to MST

All of the above steps set the correct time zone, until the machine is rebooted. Please note that although the correct time zone is set, the time is actually one hour behind. For example, currently it's 11pm but the time shows as 10pm.


- Edited the /etc/TZ file with the following command: echo "MST7MDT" > /etc/TZ

Editing the /etc/TZ file sets both the correct time, and the correct time zone. There is no hour difference as mentioned above. Upon rebooting, the /etc/TZ file is reset to CET-1CEST-2,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00


Questions I have:
===============
- Has anyone experienced similiar time zone issues?
- The only man page I found was for /etc/timezone. Does anyone have one for /etc/TZ?
- Is there a config file which sets the value for /etc/TZ? (rtc.conf?)
