How can I change my Solaris date from GMT to my local time?

Hi,

When I type date, i get:
Wed Feb 23 09:34:13 GMT 2005

How can I set it so it reads my local country timezone... I don't know if this can be done... Any thoughts or ideas?

> 3. use "date" command to change the time to the local time.
I would recommend use
ntpdate <ntp server>
or
rdate <rdate server>
to sync the time after the timezone change.

Thanks all for everything. All was usefull. I had two solaris machines; one solaris 9 and the other solaris 7. In solaris 9, I found my timezone, but not in solaris 7. Any ideas if it were possible to create a timezone?

Thanks.

So I can add anything I want, even if it was xyz? Or like Iraq/Mousil?

Sorry, I guess a better way to ask the question is:
If I can't find the timezone from the list, how can I add my own?
