We are having problems *encouraging* cron to accept our (PST8PDT) timezone.
So far we have done the following to try to alleviate the problem:
	
Placed the line "TZ=PST8PDT; export TZ" at the beginning of /etc/rc
Placed the line "TZ=PST8PDT; export TZ" at the beginning of /etc/profile
Placed the line "setenv TZ PST8PDT" in /etc/cshprofile (our csh startup file)

None of these have solved the problem.  All cron jobs still execute based
on the default timezone (EST)!  Any good ideas?

FYI, we are running 5v2r2 UNIX.  Please e-mail any responses as this is 
(hopefully :-) a simple problem that probably has been hashed out before.
Thanks in advance.
