Mostly in the USA, and a fine mess that is.

Normally, unix systems run UTC internally. The local time is done in
a library depending on the locale set in the user environment. There is
nothing to be manually changed, except the zonefiles[1].

Recent FreeBSDs have been updated. If yours is not, you could fetch and
merge the zonefiles yourself.


[1] Even if your macine isn't running utc: adjkerntz uses the zonefiles.
