hwclock has life of its own

[Aurel Wisse]

Thanks Christopher, but unfortunately it doesn't work:

[wisse@1 19:12:55 ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
ZONE="America/Montreal"
UTC=true
ARC=false
[wisse@1 19:12:58 ~]$ /sbin/clock -r
Tue 28 Jan 2003 07:13:04 PM EST  -0.725814 seconds
[wisse@1 19:13:03 ~]$ /sbin/clock -r --utc
Tue 28 Jan 2003 02:13:19 PM EST  -0.349840 seconds



Best regards, 

Aurel
