And what does 'date +"%Z %z"' display? Does it show the correct time
zone?
Do you have multiple Linux partitions? In particular, is /usr on a
separate partition? The time zone (on my system, at least) is set by a
symlink from /etc/localtime to a particular file under
/usr/share/zoneinfo/. I had the same problem when I had /usr separate
from the root partition (where /etc was), as mount -a is run after the
clock is set up, so the symlink didn't work when it was needed. Copying
the appropriate file from zoneinfo to /etc/localtime fixed the problem.
