 +[05] HOW CAN I CHANGE THE SYSTEM TIME TO REFLECT MY TIMEZONE?
  
 +     You need to set the environment variable TZ with your 
 +     timezone.  SDF is set to UTC (universal earth time).  If
 +     you want the system date to be offset to your timezone,
 +     try the following:
 +
 +     $ date
 +     Wed Jun 23 18:26:20 UTC 2004
 +     $ export TZ=CST6CDT
 +     $ date
 +     Wed Jun 23 13:28:22 CDT 2004
 +
 +     CST6CDT will offset system time to US Central time.  For
 +     a listing of timezones, look in /usr/share/zoneinfo
