exporting TIMEZONE variable "ZONE" in Redhat

Randy_9 — Thu, 12 Jun 2003 20:11:38 GMT

How do I set the TIMEZONE variable "ZONE"
(in the file /etc/sysconfig/clock) for Redhat,
so it is known to all when they logon.
The date command supplies the correct date/time, but "echo $ZONE" is null. Do I
need to make a special entry in /etc/profile?.

Thanks,
Randy

use the program dateconfig. or edit the /etc/sysconfig/clock directly using any ASCII editor, assuming you know the valid names of the timezones.
