Have you linked /etc/localtime to the correct timezone file ? Note: date -u is supposed to display UTC, and thus should (IMHO) just print out the kernel's idea of what time it is, untranslated. The kernel should only try to work out what time it is GMT/UTC -wise, from the CMOS clock, and the CMOS clock may be set to whatever your other operating systems (D*S...) need it to be set to. -Bernard
