Different timezone across difference clusters. #67

Observed that Sierra uses PST timezone in s* machines which causes different date & time values in log files. The metrics framework needs to check timezone of the server.

For example, the one of the log lines looks like: [Tue Dec 4 22:10:37 2012][005227][EUCADEBUG ] DescribeNetworks(): done. It was generated on PST timezone but we can't find the timezone information from this log line.

Our possible solution is specifying a server timezone by manually in the configure file (futuregrid.cfg) and command line tools. This way can fix this problem right away but ultimately, the log line should include timezone value.
