On my system, I'm using a umask of 027 set via the /etc/login.defs
file. Probably because of this setting (I did not try without
it), /etc/localtime gets installed with a mode of 640, i.e. normal
users can not read that file. As a result, every user but root
has the time displayed as stored in the hardware clock, not in
local time as it should be. Actually, I have the hw clock set to
UTC and the timezone "Europe/Berlin", and when it's 20:00 the date
command says it's 18:00.
Configuration:
/etc/login.defs:
UMASK 027
/etc/default/rcS:
TMPTIME=0
SULOGIN=no
DELAYLOGIN=yes
UTC=yes <----
VERBOSE=yes
FSCKFIX=no
RAMRUN=no
RAMLOCK=no
ls -l /etc/localtime:
-rw-r----- 1 root root 837 2007-04-12 20:58 /etc/localtime

The bug is not present in version 2007f-1, so I am marking it as fixed
in this version.
