Time zone can also bet set with the GUI if you log on as root user.

Linux does not use the same methodology as HP-UX.

Good Luck,

On a SuSE box, you probably want '/usr/bin/tzselect'.

I don't know what you mean by CUT however.

run tzselect, which is command line utility. it will ask for continent and the country.

you mean UTC?

the edit /etc/sysconfig/clock file and modify HWCLOCK = --locatime to HWCLOCK = --utc

reboot your machine and it should be in utc now. check man hwclock for more info

With SuSE linux, `yast` (or `yast2`) is the equivalent of `sam` on hp-ux:

xhost +
su -
export display=:0.0
yast2

or `yast2 timezone` direct.
