Timezones
What would I put in /etc/rc.conf in TIMEZONE="" for Tennessee, USA (Central Standard Time (TN has both CST and EST))?

Re: Timezones
Not sure as I'm a few miles from there 
If you have both my guess would be set it to the timezone you use personally. Somebody else may have more knowledge on this subject than myself but you can try that first. It's easy enough to change later on if need be.

Re: Timezones
Well, I tried "CST" and according to the UTC clock on time.gov, and `date`, it's wrong.
I'm lost on this one. I'm even running ntpd and it's wrong. It's either wrong, or I'm not doing something right, I don't know which.

Re: Timezones
If you adhere to Daylight Savings Time and are in the CST zone use 'CST6CDT'. EST is 'US/Eastern' and CST is 'US/Central' as I recall.
There is a chance I know what I am talking about.

1) ls -l /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/
2) Pick a city near you
3) TIMEZONE=Europe/<cityname> in /etc/rc.conf
