> SYNOPSIS: what timezone is PPET (not PST)?
>
> DETAIL DESCRIPTION:
>
> The date command lists the timezone as PPET instead of PST.
> What does PPET mean?
>
> SOLUTION SUMMARY:

> PPET is for Pacific Presidential Election Time. It comes from
> using the Pacific-New time zone instead of Pacific. Pacific-new
> comes from some proposed changes in the time zone rules that
> have not been passed. This unused rule would keep the time
> change from occurring until the first Sunday after the 7th on the
> year of a presidential election.
>
> Reset the timezone to Pacific with the following command:
>
> /usr/etc/zic -l US/Pacific
