****Changing the Time Zone

[Bryan O'Neal]

Really?  So why when I am logged in as user1 and I run date -u and
request the time I get UTC, but when I then su - and ask for the time I
get MST and if I date -u as root and login as user2 I still get MST and
on reboot everything is back as MST?  I can literally use date to set a
different time zone for each user and see it just the time zone set for
that user by changing users.

The date command sets the system time.  No per-user time is
maintained in Unix/Linux.
