+ The <filename>/etc/sysconfig/clock</filename> file controls the interpretation of values read from the system hardware clock. It is used by the <application>Date/Time Properties</application> tool, and should not be edited by hand. By default, it contains the following option:
</para>
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><option>ZONE=<replaceable>value</replaceable></option></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The time zone file under <filename>/usr/share/zoneinfo</filename> that <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> is a copy of. For example:
+ </para>
+ <screen>ZONE="Europe/Prague"</screen>
