If I understand you correctly - you *can* have different timezones in each
VS.. If you run date in a vs - it takes the time of the machine, then
applies the time zone difference specific to the VS (or host server..)

eg. to give the host server the GMT timezone, do:

    ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/localtime

to give the virtual server, blah, the timezone CET, do:

    bevs -r blah
    ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/CET /etc/localtime

(you may have to rm /etc/localtime first)

I am pretty sure this is right, anyone else correct me if I am wrong.
Bill.
