Hello openbsc community!

We are encountering the ff issue: When using basic phones, we have observed
that the timestamps on the SMS are in UTC, even if we changed the linux
system timezone to a different one. Also, if the basic phone will do an
auto-update of date and time from the network, it will use the time in UTC.

Do you have suggestions on how to change the network timezone configuration
for the osmo-nitb? There is a timezone command mentioned in the osmo-nitb
vty reference manual (timezone <-19-19> (0|15|30|45), ex. timezone 8 0 ).

If we put that config under the BTS level (in osmo-nitb.cfg), osmo-nitb
will complain that there is a config error. If we put that under the
network level, osmo-nitb does not complain, but it doesn't seem to work as
expected.

Let me know if addtl info is needed. Thank you in advance!
