Valid to the OS.  This is the setting that the Solaris installer has created
on all of my Solaris boxes back several years, including a recent Solaris 9
installation.

/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/US/Eastern

Now, according to a listing of /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo, the system should
support a construct such as EST5EDT, though I'm not sure how the system
handles it in the event of Daylight Savings, especially since this variable
is set at boot-up.  When I get up in the morning I'll go grab another book.
