	Which means it's not properly configured. On UNIX systems, to 
configure the timezone, you must adjust /etc/localtime so that it's a 
symlink that points to the appropriate timezone in /usr/share/zoneinfo 
.
	The exact layout of the /usr/share/zoneinfo folder is probably 
implementation-specific, but for example, here's how it is on my Mac OS 
X box:

[max at Megaera ~]% ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  33 25 Jan 18:58 /etc/localtime -> 
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London
