Re: LOCALTIMESTAMP has wrong time zone

postgres(at)Cloud-DB1:~$ psql beta_cms_main -c "show timezone;"
TimeZone
----------
EST
(1 row)

postgres(at)Cloud-DB1:~$ psql beta_cms_main -c "select now();"
now
-------------------------------
2011-02-24 17:42:40.023498-05
(1 row)

postgres(at)Cloud-DB1:~$ psql beta_cms_main -c "select localtimestamp;"
timestamp
----------------------------
2011-02-24 17:42:40.078052
(1 row)

All looks correct to me!
(it is 5:42PM EST now).

In particular, let's see the result of these commands in psql:

show timezone;
select now();
select localtimestamp;

What it sounds like to me is an incorrect default setting of "timezone"
but it's hard to be sure with no concrete data.
