1 Just a note in case other have gotten the idea to set
2 /etc/conf.d/hwclock to clock_systohc="yes"
3
4 You might want to read some of the hwclock manpage, particularly the
5 section:
6 Automatic Hardware Clock Synchronization By the Kernel

8 Where it warns not to use that setting in some cases:
9
10 If your system runs with 11 minute mode on, don't use hwclock
11 --adjust or hwclock --hctosys. You'll just make a mess. It is
12 acceptable to use a hwclock --hctosys at startup time to get a
13 reasonable System Time until your system is able to set the System
14 Time from the external source and start 11 minute mode.

16 The 11 minute mode referred to is when the kernel is setting the
17 hardware clock every 11 minutes
