Hi Mike,
Your default timezone is set by the soft-link /etc/localtime - for instance on
my system (Mandrake 9.0, but 8.2 was the same):
$ ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jan 14 08:46 /etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney
Note that this is overridden by the TZ environment variable, thus:
$ date
Fri Jan 31 10:13:21 EST 2003
$ TZ=GMT0BST date
Thu Jan 30 23:13:25 GMT 2003
cheers!
Chris
