Hello,

        I have been trying to set the timezone in linux for some time to no
avail.  I "know" that you are supposed to use the date command.  While I
can set the time and date, I can't seem to set the timezone it only
calculates the new time in relation to the timezone that I have set.

        Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Is this my imagination or am I entering the twilight zone?

        How do you adjust the timezone on Linux ???
        I have tried using the date command to no avail.
        Thanks ahead of time.

I guess there must be only so many ways to ask the question....

But seriously, this suggests that the documentation for the `date' command
should mention how to set the time zone.
