It's true that the distribution doesn't come with the file
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/localtime, but 'zic -l ZONENAME' on
Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 7 will create this file which the 'zic'
manual indicates will set ZONENAME as the local time:
-l "localtime"
Use the given time zone as local time "localtime".
zic will act as if the file contained a link line
of the form:
Link "localtime" localtime
In reality, however, this file is a no-op and the TZ set in /etc/TIMEZONE
determines the machine's default timezone.
