Darrick,
I have just started to look at 0.4.2 (long time 0.3.0 user).
It appears to me that setting TIMEZONE in rc.conf does nothing.
I solved the timezone problem as follows:
rc.conf: # added TIMEZONE_TZ variable after TIMEZONE variable
TIMEZONE_TZ=CST6CDT
/etc/init.d/misc: # added below the init() { line
if [ "$TIMEZONE_TZ" ]
then
echo "$TIMEZONE_TZ" > /tmp/etc/TZ
fi
This works for me.
If there is a better way, you won't hurt my feelings
