The TZ variable is mentioned in several mannual pages... date(1):

ENVIRONMENT
       TZ     Specifies the timezone, unless overridden by command
line param- eters.  If neither is specified, the setting
from /etc/localtime is used.

and tzset(3):

DESCRIPTION
       The tzset() function initializes the tzname variable from the
TZ  envi- ronment  variable.

These are quotes from FC5, but similar statements are in the Solaris
pages too.



Thanks Jonathan,  I added:
 TZ='America/Boise'
 export TZ

to my rc.snort file, and all is right in the universe =)
