Showing both would help a lot e.g.
You selected %Z as local time zone.
Local time is: %T %Z
UTC time is: %T UTC
Is this what you expected?
Please bypass this screen if the user selected UTC as local time.
I prefer to run my systems with UTC and a login group with
:setenv=TZ=Foo/Bar,...:
This avoids trouble with daylight saving and servers spread over
multiple timezones.
