Make sure your TZ variable has been set properly (in /etc/profile)
export TZ=US/Eastern Then make it take effect like . /etc/profile # Execute /etc/profile Then reset your system time like rdate time-a.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov # Set time to NIST Then set your CMOS clock hwclock -systohc
This should make everything fine. If you set your clock to NIST, or to the national time-server in the country or your choice, every time you startup and connect to a network or if your machine is 'up' all the time, have crond (man cron) set it once a day.
