OK, the other reasonably obvious possibility is to turn that on its head - is TZ set for the sendmail daemon that's started automagically in your boot scripts ???
To check this on the RedHat system, look in /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail for any lines of the form "export TZ=??T" and, if they're found, kill them. When you've done that, find the line that begins "start)" and insert immediately after it the following line:
echo "*** Sendmail Timezone = <$TZ>" >&2
When you've done that and saved the file, reboot and watch the boot-up messages to see what appears - it will NOT appear in dmesg as far as I'm aware...
>>> Thanks.. I have no clue why it does this.. date yeilds CST >>> fingering a local user yeilds CST, every where but mail.. it just >>> mislables -0600 as EST.. I have no idea why..
