Here are the results:

~ # hwclock --show --debug
hwclock from util-linux-2.12i
Using /dev/rtc interface to clock.
...
Hardware clock is on local time
Assuming hardware clock is kept in local time.
Waiting for clock tick...
...
Time read from Hardware Clock: 2005/11/23 19:04:14
Hw clock time : 2005/11/23 19:04:14 = 1132769054 seconds since 1969
Wed Nov 23 19:04:14 2005  -0.188934 seconds


  ~ # ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 32 Nov 22 20:39 /etc/localtime -> 
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris

and in /etc/conf.d/clock:

CLOCK="local"

echo $TZ returns nothing, so TZ is presumably not set.

All that seems correct to me, and yet the time returned by "date" is 
still one hour fast.

What else can I check?
