<snip> I think that distributions run hwclock, check filesystems, then run hwclock again, even. But, see above, it may not be enough. I seem to recall an answer from that discussion simply saying to “fix your clock”, so, it may be the kernel that needs to set the correct time (and timezone). Does the MacOS store the timezone, anyway?
Timezone is one of the things stored in the Mac PRAM, at least on the older boxes we're worried about. My two main 68k Macs both have dead batteries, which means it gets reset every unplug. Pain and a half.
