Hi,
	I found that uClibc uses /etc/TZ to set the time zone.so will
changing UCLIBC_TZ_FILE_PATH it to /etc/localtime in
uClibc-0.9.29.config file will solve my issue??

	how do I map this to /etc/localtime so as to set a valid
timezone.

Regards,
Vinod

uClibc does not use /etc/localtime nor does it understand the timezone
data
files released by the nih gov

this file is used by the distribution only, not the libc and certainly
not
busybox
