Good, but before posting to usenet you should also read the FAQ. The
FAQ exists to catch exectly questions like this that seem not to be
where people expect to find them in manuals.

Question 7.3. How do I set the timezone ?
Change directory to /usr/lib/zoneinfo; get the timezone package if you
don't have this directory. The source can be found on sunsite.unc.edu in
/pub/Linux/system/Admin/timesrc-1.2.tar.gz.
Then make a symbolic link named localtime pointing to one of the files in
this directory (or a subdirectory), and one called posixrules pointing to
localtime. For example:
ln -sf US/Mountain localtime
ln -sf localtime posixrules
This change will take effect immediately - try date.
Don't try to use the TZ variable - leave it unset.
You should also make sure that your Linux kernel clock is set to the
correct GMT time - type date -u and check that the correct universal time
is displayed.
