TIMEZONE file:

Code:
 
#ident  "@(#)init.dfl   1.6     00/05/27 SMI"
#
# This file is /etc/default/init.  /etc/TIMEZONE is a symlink to this file.
# This file looks like a shell script, but it is not.  To maintain
# compatibility with old versions of /etc/TIMEZONE, some shell constructs
# (i.e., export commands) are allowed in this file, but are ignored.
#
# Lines of this file should be of the form VAR=value, where VAR is one of
# TZ, LANG, CMASK, or any of the LC_* environment variables.
#
TZ=Canada/Eastern
CMASK=022
LC_COLLATE=en_CA.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE=en_CA.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_CA.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC=en_CA.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_CA.ISO8859-1
