Lonnie,
I suppose the "safe" option would be to create two variables. It seems
to me that only *broken* apps (or those with special requirements, like
Asterisk) are going to read /etc/localtime directly instead of using the
library like they should. I suppose that while we are including
/usr/share/zoneinfo we might as well set /etc/localtime just in case.
Thanks again for your help!
