====================================

What is your TZ environment variable set to?

try:  echo $TZ

it should say something like:  
				PST8PDT

You can set TZ in the /etc/profile file if it needs to be changed
this works for sh and ksh .   I'm not very familiar with csh - would
you put it in the .login file?
