All the timezone information is lacking under /usr/share/zoneinfo in glibc-common-2.2.4-11.2 (but it's in the little endian version). I can't changes the root password, I get the following: # passwd root Changing password for user root New UNIX password: /usr/lib/cracklib_dict: magic mismatch PWOpen: Success /Carsten "H . J .
