Jammie, Check whether /etc/localtime is a symbolic link pointing to an appropriate timezone value for you, or that the contents matches one.
On my SuSE systems, I have this: > ls -l localtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jan 29 23:01 localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT If your entry doesn't look like that, you can do this: cd /etc rm localtime ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT localtime On my Red Hat 7.2 system, /etc/localtime is an actual file, whose contents match /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT. So on a Red Hat system, I would do this: cp -p /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime On both my SuSE and Red Hat systems, the TZ environment variable is not set.
