[NBLUG/talk] Changing hardware clock time zone on Debian/Sarge

[Dean A. Roman]

Lincoln,

  Take a look in /etc/default/rcS.  There should be a line that says
  "UTC=no"...change this to "UTC=yes".
This is read at boot time in the clock script.../etc/init.d/hwclock.sh.

Ultimately, it would be better to let NTP handle the setting of the clock.




I hope that helped,

   ---Dean.
