RE: How to change timezone on unix

Somewhat OT, but on Solaris there is a file (or link) called
/etc/default/init
 

/etc/TIMEZONE is supposed to be a link to this file also.
 

There should be a line in that file like:  

TZ=US/Eastern  

Change this to the desired value and reboot server. Root access is required.  

What values are allowed?  

Try looking under /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/US (for US timezones).  

HTH,
Gerardo
