--- Comment #4 from Dr. Werner Fink 2012-10-15 08:11:19 UTC ---
First of all: The system time has to be in UTC as this is the clock used by the
kernel and for the network stack only. The system time is *NOT* the local time
used in user space.
The user space time is defined by the choosen timezone which is used to choose
the /etc/localtime to enable the glibc to determine the local clock by using
the kernel system time and the rules in /etc/localtime.
The kernel set its system clock at boot by using the CMSO clock. If the CMOS
clock is broken by using local time the kernel has to be informed in initrd.
If you know switch back to UTC as reference in CMOS then YaST2-country should
correct /etc/adjtime first, run mkinitrd and then hwclock to be sure that both
the CMOS and the kernels system time is correct after *next* boot.
Please note using gettimeofday(2) will inform the running kernel only *once*
about the broken CMOS clock and therefore such a change requires a reboot.
