OK then, just to recap -- US/Central was off by an hour (giving me
Eastern instead of Central time when syncing with xntp3).
Here is my etc/init.d/hwclock.sh:
GMT=-u
#
# Set and adjust the CMOS clock.
#
if [ ! -f /etc/adjtime ]
then
echo "0.0 0 0.0" > /etc/adjtime
fi
if [ -x /sbin/hwclock ]
then
[ "$GMT" = "-u" ] && GMT="--utc"
hwclock --adjust $GMT
hwclock --hctosys $GMT
else
[ "$GMT" = "--utc" ] && GMT="-u"
clock -a $GMT
fi
#
# Now that /usr/lib/zoneinfo should be available,
# announce the local time.
#
if [ "$VERBOSE" != no ]
then
echo
echo "Local time: `date`"
echo
fi
