Cannot get net ads join to work under Solaris 8

[Clive.Elsum at csiro.au]

Following on from this in the replacement for timegm within /lib/replace.c
Solaris returns the TIMEZONE (in our case) as Australia/Victoria. This is
done
during installation.
I expect that SAMBA is looking for some variant of GMT or UTC not
Australia/Victoria.
As a very simple workaround I simply changed the putenv call to force TZ=GMT
and all 
works happily.
 

 time_t timegm(struct tm *tm)
{
        time_t ret;
        char *tz;
        char *tzvar;

        tz = getenv("TZ");

  /*    putenv("TZ=");
        putenv("TZ=GMT");
        tzset();
        ret = mktime(tm);

Actually, we got confused - the function that Samba replaced, which I
suspected could be a problem is 'timegm'.  

Either way, there is a but in there somewhere, as it doesn't work for a
non-GMT timezone.
