... ciao:
i have a prompt that looks like:
"yossarian - 01:35:40 - tty8
[ root ] /usr/share/zoneinfo
#"
on another system. 'date' offers the correct time. however, when i
login as 'twhite' the time given is UTC, but 'date' offers the correct
time.
i've made "localtime" 'America/Los_Angeles', and 'PST8PDT", with
"etc/sysconfig/clock" set as both the above, and still unable to get
it to work, and worse yet, figure out what i'm missing.
this a fresh install with sources from october of last year.
any thought much appreciated ...

Has twhite got a timezone set using the TZ environment variable? You
could try putting a couple of date commands in the shell rc file around
where you set the prompt and see what timezone is reported when you
start a new shell.
What is your /etc/localtime file set to? If it is a soft-link what
timezone file is it pointing to? If it is a binary file, what does:
tail -1 /etc/localtime
give you?
Cheers
Adam
