Time zone Update Suse 8.1

[sgoldman at MIT.EDU (stephen goldman)]

Hello team,
    Having some challenges understanding the time zone update on a SuSE 8.1 box. 

Verified that the patch is in place but the time on the machine is out of wack!            Thu Mar 22 17:41:22 UTC 2007


I updated the northamerican time zone ! 

Has anyone share some insight?

Thanks..
