Make sure /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime points to (symlink or just cp)
the right zone file.

E.g. for a machine in Toronto you would do:

        cd /usr/lib/zoneinfo
        ln -s Canada/Eastern localtime

        or
        cp Canada/Eastern localtime

Thanks Albert!

I *still* haven't heard back from Sun support :-(
