/etc/localtime and glibc 2.1



I am running potato and have glibc 2.1 installed and date reports GMT time
rather than EST. I realize that the timezone package was replaced by glibc
2.1 but I can't figure out how to tell it to use EST rather than GMT. The
date command produces

telmer:~$ date
Wed Mar 17 23:44:56 /etc/localtime 1999

So I thought I could simply create /etc/localtime with the single line
reading "EST" but that didn't do anything. Any ideas?
