If you want to set the timezone on your phone correctly, do the following:
ipkg install tzdata
ipkg install your desired tzdata-* packages. For instance, I use “tzdata-australia“.
Enable your desired timezone by symlinking it to “/etc/localtime“. Adjust the following example command line for your locality.
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Adelaide /etc/localtime

I am creating a MokoSlug firmware distribution for the NSLU2 for this [...]
