Time problems

[David]

I *think* (but I am not sure) that the default init.d scripts write the
system time into the hardware clock when shutting down (it is what the
command hwclock --systohc does).

So I have the hardware clock to the *local time* and, whenever the system
clock changes (sync with time servers, manual adjustment of the clock, etc),
it will be written into the hardware clock during next shutdown (or you can
do it manually with hwclock --systohc).

But I am not sure at all, take the information at your own risk :-)
