Changing Timezones in SunOS 4.0

[Danielle Heinzer]

Hi, David

I had the same problem as you as I installed SunOS 4.0.  The timezone
definition is not in the kernel configuration file anymore.

The current TimeZone is given by the file:
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/localtime.

If you do a 'ls /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo', you will see all the timezones
that the system knows.

For instance, I had installed the Operating System with TimeZone=MET. I
had to change it to GMT.

I did the following as superuser:
     cd /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo
     rm localtime
     ln -s localtime GMT

I don't remember, but I think it acts immediately. You don't need to
reboot.
