Now, the TZ setting in /etc/TIMEZONE is TZ=PST-8PDT.

It is the 7 that counts, not the name. Try this if you do not know your standard timezone name:
Code:
grep -e 'JT' -e 'JAVT' /lib/tztab

If you get a hit - a timezone using the two standard names for your timezone -
then use one of them. I do not know your timezone name. If you don't know, what does a Windows box show you when you click on the time in the tray (the bottom right hand side usually)? Beyond this I simply cannot help you.

In order for tztab to come into play the timezone you pick must exist in the tztab file, and spelled exactly the way you put it in the TZ variable.

read the man page for tzset

Yes use vi to edit the /etc/TIMEZONE file.
