Modern unices are more elaborate than just setting the TZ environment
variable. In Redhat Linux, for example, the file /etc/localtime is a
link to a file in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directories which specifies
lots of time related things.
However, some applications like Java also use the ZONE value in
/etc/sysconfig/clock which contains the timezone name. These two
should match.
