That should work fine, at least the corresponding thing works for me in the
Eastern time zone. I have the same /etc/sysconfig/clock and my
/etc/localtime is identical to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern. I'm not
sure why you have a symlink and I have a separate file, but it may be
related to the fact that my / and /usr are separate filesystems and they
may need the file to be present before /usr is mounted.
I don't suppose you want to move farther East to an area where this
works... :-)
Are you sure the clock is set to proper UTC? Did you *just* change your
configuration yesterday? (I noticed the timestamp on the symlink.)
When you keep the hardware clock on UTC, *it* doesn't have to change when
we pretend to move 15 degrees East or West in the Spring and Fall
respectively. You previously had to remember to use "--utc" on the hwclock
commands, but now hwclock remembers (in /etc/adjtime) what you specified
when you last ran with --set, --systohc or --adjust, so it's friendlier.
Note that nothing *actually* changes time reckoning when you Spring ahead
or Fall back, only the INTERPRETATION of the clocks as localtime changes.
What do you get from the various 'date' and 'hwclock' commands? For
instance, I get:
[root@ns2 /root]# date -u; date; hwclock --utc; hwclock --utc --debug
Thu May 4 10:13:46 UTC 2000
Thu May 4 06:13:46 EDT 2000
Thu May 4 06:13:47 2000 -0.332690 seconds
hwclock 2.4c/util-linux-2.10f
Using /dev/rtc interface to clock.
Assuming hardware clock is kept in UTC time.
Waiting for clock tick...
...got clock tick
Time read from Hardware Clock: 10:13:48
Hw clock time : 100/05/04 10:13:48 = 957435228 seconds since 1969
Thu May 4 06:13:48 2000 -0.924191 seconds
Are you sure you have the UTC set properly: 5 hours ahead of CDT? If not,
you can set the system clock properly and then do:
hwclock --systohc --utc
