[ale] Tomcat Timezone

On my FC2 server running Tomcat it appears that tomcat does not seem
to respect what is in /etc/locatime.  I found this out when for testing
I set our development box to CST and rebooted.  Every time stamp in
tomcat and our software was being treated as if it was EST.  It appears
the only fix is to set the TZ environment variable

$ env TZ=US/Central sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat start

Is there a timezone config option I need to set?
