All of my systems regardless of location have always been set to UTC so logs and cron are in sync across timezones. Recently I have had need to allow users to set their own timezone in the .cshrc using: sentenv TZ America/Detroit or sentenv TZ America/Denver or whatever applies. But what I am finding out is that as long as the user is logged in it sets the environment for the entire system affecting log timestamps as well as cron events. Any help is appreciated.
