  Hi....when I run 'date' on a freebsd box I get the right date and time, 
but it displays GMT and I want it to display EST system wide....I saw 
that you could specify a TZ value in your environment, but I want it for 
everyone...would I need to put something in /etc/localtime?  It looks 
like that's the place...if so what should I put in there?  thanks....
