want PST clock not EST in ix/386

[Willy Paine]

I have ix/386 2.0.2 and I set up for PST time but the default date shows
in EST instead of PST.   Under user's shell environment, I can use
TZ=PST8PDT but I have couple of bbs login that run standalone bbs
program that have no shell or environment.  Users are reading EST time
inside bbs software instead of EST.   It must be able to set up default 
time to PST in startup program like rc or rc2 or rc*.
 
Thanks in advance.
