I am having trouble getting the system time on my 386BSD system 
working correctly. I am trying to set it as EDT and getting PDT. 
My config file has the following line:

timezone	5 dst

All the samples use "8 dst" for PDT time. Where is this information 
used so I can check if there is some nasty hardcoding
