Well, no, time zone isn't arbitrary, it needs to be chosen carefully. Normally you set it to the time zone the machine is actually in (though for remote servers one can set it for the time zone the machine actually serves). Time zone can also influence the changeover dates and times for Daylight Saving Time, if that is used (if you're in Arizona, it's not). I'm not sure how this is handled in FreeBSD, but it always seems to magically set itself on my machines at the appropriate time. Even more important, however, is setting the real-time clock to UTC. > Thanks for pointing that out to me.
