If it's "someone" have them set TZ in their login script. Your users
can have different timezones than the system runs in. Basically, you
can set TZ to whatever you find under /usr/share/zoneinfo. Compare :
$ TZ=Europe/Amsterdam date
Thu Jan 17 13:02:14 CET 2008
$ TZ=America/New_York date
Thu Jan 17 07:02:16 EST 2008
If you move your machine around from timezone to timezone on a regular
basis, you could do the ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/... /etc/localtime
dance.
