Although /etc/TIMEZONE is a symlink to ./default/init and ./default/init
contains
TZ=MET
my TZ after login is "US/Pacific". Sure I could set TZ in /etc/profile
but I want to keep my systems clean and use them as designed. Why
doesn't it work the way it's described?

(I suppose it is assumed you switch a system off when moving it
to a different timezone :-)
It's also possible that someone restarted inetd from his account with
a different TZ set.
