Load the timezones package; then set the TZ variable appropriately in
/etc/timezone.
It should contain a single line:
Brazil/<area>
where <area> is one of:
Acre DeNoronha East West
If you want to change the timezone for a particular session, redefine the
environment variable, TZ, by a shell command (Bourne-shell syntax):
export TZ=Brazil/<area>
The available timezones are files under /usr/share/zoneinfo.
Full information in the libc info files, under Calendar Time.
