Thanks, guys. That worked. But I'm still confused. Why is it
necessary to use tzconfig to change my timezone from EDT to EDT? That's
all I did, but now it behaves correctly. What does the install do
differently?
Also, It's not that I don't read docs. It just didn't occur to me that
I needed to change the timezone -- It was right, after all :)
