help with file timestamp

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

Hi,
	I am having some problems here with timestamp. The system is
	hamm.

# date
Thu Jul 20 15:59:32 EST 2000

# date -u
Thu Jul 20 05:59:34 UTC 2000

# touch /tmp/hello
# ls -al /tmp/hello
-rw-rw-r--   1 root     root             0 Jul 20 05:59 /tmp/hello


	As you can see /tmp/hello's timestamp is using UTC rather than
	EST. How do I make it using EST?

Addtitional Info:

# cat /etc/timezone
Australia/Sydney

/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh is using GMT=--localhost. Well, I don't think it
really matters, coz I got a potato where GMT=--UTC and the time stamps
are still using EST.


	Thanks for any help in advance.

Shao.
