I'm no time expert, just thinking that maybe al is swell afterall. So could you post the outcome of the following commands? # date && hwclock --show Both should show the same time. You see hwclock doesn't show utc time, but local time (sorry if this was clear to you, but I somehow have the feeling that you are still doing some calculation yourself. Bytheway, the times you mention above don't make sense to me, I thought US/Eastern was a whole number of hours from utc, the minutes should stay the same) The other thing that could interfere is if you've set the TZ environment variable. -- groetjes, carel
