    i have a prompt that looks like:

    on another system.  'date' offers the correct time.  however, when i
login as 'twhite' the time given is UTC, but 'date' offers the correct
time.

    i've made "localtime" 'America/Los_Angeles', and 'PST8PDT", with
"etc/sysconfig/clock" set as both the above, and still unable to get
it to work, and worse yet, figure out what i'm missing.

Has twhite got a timezone set using the TZ environment variable? You could try putting a couple of date commands in the shell rc file around where you set the prompt and see what timezone is reported when you start a new shell.

What is your /etc/localtime file set to? If it is a soft-link what timezone file is it pointing to? If it is a binary file, what does:

  tail -1 /etc/localtime

give you?
