AIX: Timezones

AIX$ date

EET? Where the heck is EET?

Ahhhh. EET = Eastern European Time.

Good-oh. Some nong set the timezone wrong. Let me go fix it in smit.

Done.

EET again? Doesn't IBM know anything about timezones? I mean every other vendor manages to get this right and use EST. Oh well, hack the /etc/environment file and add:

TZ=EST-10EDT,M10.5.0,M3.5.0

No worries.
