Timezone confusion

[Thomas A. Anderson]

Hi there,

After re-locating to Peru I wanted to adjust the time zone of my debian box because all e-mails sent from root have a wrong time stamp.

hwclock
Mon 02 Oct 2006 11:11:29 PM PET  -0.847720 seconds

gives me the correct local time.

date
Mon Oct  2 16:12:09 PET 2006

is wrong even though the timezone has been correctly set up with tzconfig

tzconfig
Your current time zone is set to America/Lima

Why is date still showing a wrong time?

Any pointers very much appreciated :-)
