If you search the lists, you'll find a lot of posts that say exactly 
that and later admit that although it *seemed* the timezone was set 
correctly, it wasn't.  (Just because you see the local time on xclock or 
date doesn't mean it's configured properly.)  As a matter of fact, 
you'll probably have better luck finding what you need if searching the 
lists for posts that say the timezone is set properly rather than for 
posts that say it's not...

Unfortunately, though, properly configuring the timezone is 
distribution-specific, so I can't help you figure out what needs to be done.
