changing the clock settings

[Tine Brumec]

... did not do the trick :(
When I rebooted my computer the clock settings reverted to the old,
wrong settigns. There must be something wrong with the env variable
TIMEZONE; although I don't understand what /etc/rc does in the process
of setting the clock, I see that the aforementioned variable is pretty
important. But when I do an echo $TIMEZONE I get blank output, like
the variable wasn't set (but according to /etc/rc.conf it i set to
CET).

Any ideas?
