Run /usr/sbin/tzconfig as root Explicit instructions to set the time correctly once and forever: 0. Read the manpages for clock(8) and date(1) so you know what you're doing. 1. Set the timezone with tzconfig. 2. Set the time with date. 3. Type "clock -wu" to set cmos clock to GMT. 4. In the beginning of /etc/init.d/boot set the variable "GMT=-u".
