Given that degree of latitude, why not just change the timezone of the whole box? Just because the machine is sitting in [NA]EST doesn't mean it has to be told it's in New York or whatever. Just tell it that it's in Australia/Sydney. [ie change /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney and echo "Australia/Sydney" >/etc/timezone] Wouldn't that do the trick?
