Joel,
Thanks for doing this. It's a nuisance to have to fix this by hand.
BTW, does anyone know why support for the powermac's clock hasn't been added
to hwclock? That seems like the obvious solution. I mean, why not have just
one clock setting program that works for all machines? I know that the
powermac's clock is accessed via /dev/adb instead of /dev/rtc, but why should
that matter?
