Canada/Eastern is already being used. Could you guys check whether you
are using /etc/localtine or /etc/@localtime-copied-from -> what???

I have set pc time to before summer hours changeover ; reran
/usr/sbin/timeconfig ;
and then set pc time to after changeover, but still no automatic
update.

As to another poster who said use ntp, I do anyways...every 5 days a
cron script uses ntp to synch pc clock, but that is not the point. All
previous Slackware installs used to do the auto update. As well, it
would be better to understand this problem, no?

Thanks for the feedback - I'll keep trying to find some help and will
post here if anything comes up.
However if you know what causes this problem and / or the fix please
LET US KNOW :-)

BTW I'm posting another S11.0 problem(?) separately under the title of
"HOTPLUG+FLOPPY Problem...."
