Timezone is set during the initial install, but is quite easily changed 
any time.

/etc/localtime is a file that the system utilities and libraries all use 
to determine the timezone.  This file is sometimes a softlink, but is 
most often a copy os a timezone file found in: /usr/share/zoneinfo

The procedure is simple, and almost painless.

To change the system timezone from whatever it is to Mountain Daylight 
Savings time, for example:

# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/MST7MDT /etc/localtime

Thats it!  Unfortunately, only applications that start after that file 
change, get the new time.  To make everything ok, a reboot is necessary.

Good luck!
