:This common problem is cause by cron not knowing how to export the

:	(3) put ". /etc/TIMEZONE" everywhere.
:MORAL: Always include ". /etc/TIMEZONE" at the start of scripts

If you can't use solution 1), remember to put . /etc/TIMEZONE into
/etc/rc BEFORE YOU START CRON.  This way, all your cron jobs will know
what timezone it is.  Also put it in /etc/profile, so people who use
normal shells to log in will get it.  This still doesn't help incoming
uucp jobs, since uucico doesn't see /etc/profile; does it do the right thing?
