Erick,

The standard LDM configuration is to use GMT time because all the reports
use GMT time. When the LDM is compiled it sets the TZ=GMT (time zone
environment flag to GMT)  I guess if you wanted to use PST then you could
set :

setenv TZ PST

before building the source code.  Probably would have strange file
results, personally never tried it.
