Global users and time zones

[C. Bensend]

Hey folks,

   I'm in the process of designing a system to integrate our
existing systems database and Nagios.  It will query our database,
stuff the results into an interim database, that I will use to
build a Nagios config.

   However, I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to handle users
with different time zones.  We have a number of admins that will be
accessing this from many areas, including the US zones and India.

   I realize this is borderline relevant, but I'm sure some of you
have had to deal with this in the past.  How do you do it?  I'm
trying to avoid having times displayed in a single time zone and
having the local admins do time calculations and offsets just to
get their systems monitored.  I REALLY don't want to have a Nagios
server in each time zone if I can in any way avoid it.

   I'd also be open to any third-party front ends that may handle
this more gracefully than I might.  :)  As of right now, I'm using
PHP and PostgreSQL, and will be building the config files with
perl.

Thanks for any thoughts,

Benny
