Request to Set Timezone to Asia/Shanghai on serv00 (No Root Access)

llkj

Dear FreeBSD Administrators,

I hope this message finds you well. I am currently using a FreeBSD system identified as serv00, and I require assistance with configuring the system's timezone to China Standard Time (Asia/Shanghai). Unfortunately, I do not have root privileges, which limits my ability to make this adjustment directly.

Current Situation:
Server: serv00 (FreeBSD)
Access Level: Non-root user
Objective: Set the system's timezone to Asia/Shanghai (China Standard Time)
Issues Faced:
Lack of Root Access: I am unable to use tools like tzsetup or timedatectl to change the timezone globally.
File Permissions: I cannot edit system-wide configuration files or my user-specific shell configuration files (e.g., .bashrc) due to permission restrictions.
Request:
Could you please assist in setting the system's timezone to Asia/Shanghai on my behalf? Alternatively, if there are any recommended workarounds that I could apply as a non-root user, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
punk

llkj We will not make the specified change globally. Depending on the application you are using, you may be able to set the desired time zone on its side, if possible. For example, you can change the time zone for PHP scripts.
