Not every time. Only if hwclock is set to localtime.

In this case you have to make following changes:

1. Write /etc/localtime
2. mkinitrd
3. Set hwclock

Do not use "date" to set the time! "date" corrects the kernel time, but this is
every time in UTC!!!

the best way is to set the hwclock to localtime. In this case you can make a
trip around the world without setting the time. You only have to set the right
time zone and all tools show the correct time immediately. The time does not
change if you are in an other time zone only the presentation.
