I am having a heck of a time trying to get the timezone set to GMT on two
different UNIX machines.  One is running :
[onyx]:[7:20pm]:[/home/rnejdl] > uname -a
FreeBSD onyx.training.verio.net 3.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE #0: Tue Mar  7 20:34:32 GMT 2000     root@pandora.ringofsaturn.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/TRAINNET  i386
[onyx]:[7:20pm]:[/home/rnejdl] >  

and the other is running:
[crimson]:[6:20pm]:[/home/rnejdl] > uname -a
FreeBSD crimson.training.verio.net 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #1: Wed Jun 21 12:13:11 CDT 2000     root@crimson.training.verio.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/CRIMSON  i386
[crimson]:[6:20pm]:[/home/rnejdl] >    

Both are currently set to BST time and I have run the time zone setup section
in /stand/sysinstall and every time I tell it that my computer is set to UTC,
it ignores me and goes right into picking a country, which is not what it 
should do.  I also went into the Europe section into Great Britain to try to
pick UTC/GMT manually and it was not a choice.  It appears that this is a bug
in the TIMEZONE section.  Let me know.

Thanks!
