[Building Sakai] Incorrect dates in Grade Log

[Bryan Bakotich]

Matt,

We are on the west coast in Washington state so we are in the Pacific time
zone. I checked to make sure both our database and application server are in
sync and on the correct time since we recently had some issues resulting
from a fire in our server room.

Does Sakai use GMT by default and is there a property somewhere to set our
timezone? I was under the impression that it used the timezone from the
server by default. All our servers are running linux.
