hwclock has life of its own

[Aurel Wisse]

I booted into MacOS 8.6 and the clock was off by -1
hour. I reset it via the Apple Time Server. The
Automatic Daylight Savings Time Switch was set. The
Timezone is Canada/Montreal. 

Does this mean that `hwclock --systohc`, or `hwclock
--set` doesn't work from ppclinux on the iMac?

Now the hwclock looks ok in linux, it is in sync with
the system clock. 

HOWEVER, I still have:

[wisse@0 21:07:36 ~]$ /sbin/hwclock -r --utc
Mon 27 Jan 2003 04:08:35 PM EST  -0.623222 seconds

which is 5 hours behind, the opposite from what it
should be. And definitely not EST.
