In Debian 2.1 & 2.2 there is a file `/etc/default/rcS', where the
macro `GMT' is defined.  The file is commented well enough so that
the choices are obvious.  One also must run the `tzconfig' program
to inform the system of the current time zone in use.

However, the `/etc/default/rcS' file is a part of the `sysvinit'
package, and I don't exactly know what its status is under the
HURD.

HTH,
