ESX using NTP has Wrong Time zone on command line

The ESX servers at my customers site all use NTP. This is working great. All the VMs have the correct time using VMware tools, when I check the time under configuration, it shows the correct time, etc. However, when I log into the ESX server itself via SSH it has the wrong time when I run the date command.

This is because there is an incorrect time zone set. This is easy to fix and shouldnt affect your NTP settings.
