6 Sounds like your harware clock is running at local time. What does
7 'hwclock --show --debug' say? Look for the line saying "Time read
8 from Hardware Clock:".

10 If the hardware clock is really set at UTC, do you maybe have TZ
11 set? 'echo $TZ'. If it is, then unset it: 'unset TZ', and then
12 see if date and hwclock operate correctly. And also check that the
13 symlink /etc/localtime points at the correct zone.
