Yep, that's exactly what I did, which is where I got the idea to use  
America/Anchorage. Which, I might point out IS a valid TZ variable  
according to the page you linked, which you apparently didn't bother  
to read... Sorry, after a response like that, I couldn't resist. At  
any rate, setting the variable doesn't appear to have any effect. Is  
Nagios pulling from the BIOS clock rather than the system clock or  
something? I suppose I could set the BIOS clock to local time, and  
just tell the system clock that I am in the GMT time-zone, but that  
would be downright ugly. I would much prefer to find a nicer  
solution, if one is available. Even if I have to edit the source, I  
can do that, as long as I know where to look. Thanks.
