: Even that shouldn't be necessary, in S5R3.1 and later (maybe even
: S5R3.0), since:

/bin/login reads the file /etc/default/login, looking for a line starting
with "TIMEZONE=".  If it finds one, it sets TZ=<rest of line>.  Thus, login
will not preserve TZ.   Fix this line to have the correct value, or simply
remove the line altogether.
