Sounds like your harware clock is running at local time. What does 'hwclock --show --debug' say? Look for the line saying "Time read from Hardware Clock:". If the hardware clock is really set at UTC, do you maybe have TZ set? 'echo $TZ'. If it is, then unset it: 'unset TZ', and then see if date and hwclock operate correctly. And also check that the symlink /etc/localtime points at the correct zone. Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
