Time in jail != main server time?

[osx-addict]

I just noticed that one of my jails (likely all of them but I didn't check) is showing time for tomorrow as shown below :

main server time :

srv1# date
Tue Oct 20 21:50:30 PDT 2009

Jail #2's date...
www# date
Wed Oct 21 04:50:46 UTC 2009

Any ideas on how to adjust the timezone in each jail to be correct? I saw that I could set a TZ environment variable but I don't have that set in the main server and the time is correct.. Am I missing something obvious?

Thx!

Nevermind... I realized that my jails did not have /etc/localtime for some reason.. It's all fixed now..

After you install a jail run tzsetup inside it. That will configure the correct timezone.
