Description Udo Schweigert 1999-08-04 18:30:01 UTC

After changing the timezone with /usr/sbin/tzsetup (or /stand/sysinstall)
the file /etc/localtime gets file permissions modified with the callers umask.
(If /etc/localtime is a symbolic links, things may be different)

So if umask is 077 the file has:

-r--------  1 root  wheel  287 Aug  4 17:17 /etc/localtime

With this permissions only uid 0 has the correct zone, the others fall back
to UTC.

How-To-Repeat: 
# ls -l /etc/localtime
# umask 077
# /usr/sbin/tzsetup
# ls -l /etc/localtime
