Okay. I have asked around and it appears that hwclock is mangled on the ppc and will screw up on daylight savings time (giving times that are one hour too low). Apparently this has been discussed before and the problem is tickled by the use of localtime (with utc for the clock being suggested as a fix). I find this all strange since Yellow Dog Linux doesn't have this problem with their distro and they use localtime. So for the moment it appears that the only solution is to use ntp/ntp-simple/ntpdate to force the time correction on every boot ...UGLY. This problem should be discussed more before woody ships in case we can come up with some way of fixing hwclock for the ppc. Jack
