I need a computer to log everything as UTC. I need the users to be able
to choose their own timezone. Easy enough. I cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC
to /etc/localtime and set TZ in ~/.bash_profile to EST. The problem is
with the bash prompt which I have set to display the time.
According to info bash. \@ is the time in 12 hour format. That seems to
derive timezone from /etc/localtime so I thought I would use \D{format}
where format is an strftime code. After reading strftime(3), it says
that TZ is used. Apparently not. All files/dirs are shown in EST, so the
TZ is being properly exported, yet the prompt still shows UTC instead of
the desired EST.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?
