Description:
Start up scripts appear to be affected by a locally set TZ variable. In other words, if root has her environment TZ set to "Canada/Pacific" and runs /etc/rc.d/http restart and then PHP scripts running out of Apache report the time in Pacific time, despite the fact that /etc/localtime is set to UTC.


Steps to reproduce:
# export TZ="Canada/Pacific"
# /etc/rc.d/http restart
(test the time on a PHP script)
# unset TZ
# /etc/rc.d/http restart
(test the time on a PHP script)

A sample PHP script to use:
<?
print date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
?>


Expected Behaviour:
Server daemons should always start in the system time.


Suggested fix:
The TIMEZONE variable in rc.conf could be renamed to TZ or some rc-script magic could go into setting TZ based on TIMZONE.
