I got Solaris8 installed oon Sunfire V440 .I have TZ=GMT in /etc/TIMEZONE , but when i log in as root i see the date in GMT+1.

Maybe under /etc/profile set this variable TZ and export the same.

Is TZ set in /etc/profile or in your login profile? grep for "GMT1"

I do not know Solaris, but you have to find where TZ is defined at login and set it correctly. A lot of unix systems have /etc/profile.

Code:
setenv TZ="GMT"
or 
TZ="GMT"
export TZ

In Solaris TZ variable is defined in /etc/TIMEZONE file
use manpage TIMEZONE
