Hi

You don't set it in the kernel, it's handled in userspace by glibc
or whatever libc library you have. glibc refers to /etc/localtime on my
Ubuntu 7.04 system, so I guess you will need to locate the correct file to
update and modify that, which may be a different config file followed by
running a utility program.

Can be very distribution dependant - which distro are you running?

Cheers
