That would be because you set TIMEZONE to EST8EST. What you want is
EST5EDT. And even better would be TZ=US/Eastern.

Finally have snv122 running on SPARC, albeit without graphics
at this point. The install was done entirely from pkg from
snv103 to snv111b and hence to snv122. For some (unsurprising)
reason, it defaults to PDT8PST. Changed /etc/TIMEZONE to use
EST8EST and now `date` returns EDT. But it is always 3 hours in
the past. `rdate` to any reputable time source will always reset
the date back to 3 hours in the past. There must be some other
variable that needs to be set/configured, but no amount of
Googling has revealed it.
This is undoubtedly a simple thing to fix, but this is the
first time for someone who has been using Solaris since
Solaris 1 that setting the time has been a problem so I
hope the solution isn't too too obvious :-)
Thanks-- Frank
