To set the appropriate timezone: cd /etc/zoneinfo su rm localtime ln EST localtime Now for the undocumented trick... The date command takes a couple of options: -t minutes_West and -d <daylight_savings>. In Indiana, we are 300 minutes West of standard time, so in /etc/rc.boot we add: date -t 300 > /dev/console For someone in Illinois, the date line might be something like: date -t 360 -d 1 > /dev/console This change will allow things like sendmail to correctly date stamp mail.
