hmm...Japan....Nah, I'll stick to Alaska :) Anyway, yeah, /var/www is  
the "root" for Apache. The issue, however, appears to lie not with  
Apache specifically, but with Nagios. The timestamps that Apache puts  
in its log files show the correct timezone, so the server itself is  
seeing the correct timezone. On the other hand, I suspect that unless  
Nagios is doing something weird (which, from what I have been told,  
it isn't) any other CGI that attempted to get the time would have the  
same issue. So who's fault is it really? In my opinion, I would think  
that since the Nagios CGI's need the file to display the time  
correctly, it should have been linked/copied by the Nagios installer.  
By default, Apache would have no need for this file, so I can  
understand the Apache install not doing it. I suppose there might be  
SOME reason that the Nagios package maintainer decided not to link or  
copy this file by default, but such a reason eludes me.
