Hello Thomas, My take is: hwclock + timezone correction => local time. So, setting hwclock to UTC +0.00 will give you right local time, if your timezone is correct.
hwclock's following option might help you sync better, I guess: --hctosys : set system time from hw clock --systohc : set hw clock to cur sys time Let us know if it helped.

Thanks for your pointer, Oleg. I chose tzselect and then 2 for Americas and 36 for Peru. Then I get this here: Therefore TZ='America/Lima' will be used. Local time is now: Tue Oct 3 03:39:53 PET 2006. Universal Time is now: Tue Oct 3 08:39:53 UTC 2006. Is the above information OK? And the information is not ok. Local time is actually 10:39 as indicated by hwclock Tue 03 Oct 2006 10:39:53 AM PET -0.207755 seconds Any other pointers? -- Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is.
