Cron's timing - using GMT?

[nimennor@ieaccess.net (Sergey Imennov)]

Hi.

	I was under the impression that cron used 'local'
	time for timing events, however, I was surprised,
	when, I started seeing the 'updatedb' at
	something like 6am.

	Is using GMT for cron normal for UNIX, or is this
	something new?

Thanks,
Nikita
