I agree, so my questions are:
- what is your TZ?
- what does "[/bin/]date" show?
- what does your hardware clock: "/sbin/hwclock --show" report?
[need to be root to use that command]
- is your /etc/localtime file a standalone file or a symlink
to /usr/share/zoneinfo/... ?
- if a symlink, to what file?
- what is the timestamp on the localtime (or what it's
symlinked to) file?
- what does "zdump -v /etc/localtime" return ? i.e., is it for
the correct TZ?
