/etc/zoneinfo/localtime need only be a link to the proper /etc/zoneinfo
file - CST, EST, etc.

You must also teach the kernel your time zone.  Otherwise it will require
a PST bias when you enter the time with date(1) and sendmail will continue
to stamp your letters with PST.  There is a new flag to date(1) that does
this: "-t <minutesWest>".  Add it to the first date(1) command in
/etc/rc.boot - e. g., to establish EST

	date -t 300				>/dev/console
