Where all should the timezone variable be set? I seem to remember that the
timestamps are actually stored at the system time and then converted for
display based on the TimeZone setting. I have had problems with time after
every redhat install until I went into timettol or linuxconf and acutually
selected the city nearest me from te list that included the weird ones like
Arizona and eastern indiana.
I don't know if this is the probelm but it seems athat something is looking in
one place for the timezone and the other program in another.
