[Grml] time zone configuration, minor problem.

Ok, I am sorry I am writing about this again. However, here's whyu. I pulled in my mail today, and I had 104 messages, most of them absolute and total first order junk. Well, mailfilter to the rescue, and, as far as I know now, I am getting only the messages I want.

Well, I need to know how to solve this: I have runb tzconfig as root, and set the time zone to the proper us-eastern. Tzconfig says, on repeated runs that this is what I am set to. However, I still, when running date, get results in CET. My TZ invironmental variable didn't change when I ran the configuration program. Shœuld I just change this variable's value, then run ntpdate on the time server?

Thanks.
