If the timezine info can not be read, UTC is used by default, (which oddly
enough is 5 hours ahead of EST).. make sure /etc/localtime points to a
timezone file that actully exists (it's a symlink), should point to
something like /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern

(Timezone handling is probably the most screwed thing in unix ;)
