The timezone is exactly correct for my part of the world. Not all the 
world lives in the USA!

I will add a note to the docs about what to do if the logins don't work 
properly. It's up to you to correct the timezone. Exactly how *did* you 
correct the timezone? I would like to put it in the docs.

Cheers,
Jules.
