Colleagues,
So far I have kept local time in the CMOS clock, and my /etc/rtc_config
had a non-zero zone_lag.
Then I said 'OK, I want to have UTC time in the CMOS clock, just like
on my FreeBSD boxes.' So I said 'rtc -z GMT' and lo! It changed my
rtc_config, but it also changed the kernel (system) time. I had to
restore the correct system time with ntpdate.
Why did 'rtc -z GMT' do that? It is for updating the local CMOS clock,
not the kernel clock, is it?
