exporting TIMEZONE variable "ZONE" in Redhat

[Randy_9]

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

Hello!

You shuld know that in linux
is a difrent methods that create TIMEZONE
you will need to compile the timezone with:
"zic".

Check in man how to use with.

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