Oh, good, then you can simply set the hardware cl-- > Unfortunately, I have other OSes on this system and they are configured > for the hardware clock set to local time. I need to keep it that way. Um... OK. This sudden reversal is confusing to me, but if you've got it dual-booting between Windows and Linux, then setting the HW clock to local time may be your simplest option. In past versions of Debian, this was done by editing the /etc/default/rcS file. But that's not true in stretch. If I'm reading the man pages and the /etc/init.d/* scripts correctly (as you said you're using sysv-rc rather than systemd), it looks like the setting for HW clock to UTC or local is in the /etc/adjtime file now. There's no separate man page for it. The documentation for /etc/adjtime appears to be in the hwclock(8) man page, under the section header "The Adjtime File".
