Thats what the poster wanted you to change.
However, I myself would do the following:
1. With computer booted, edit /etc/default/rcS and sent GMT as required:

(I think this has changed for potato).
2. Now updated you CMOS clock by typing in:
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop
at least a similar procedure worked for me, and means you don't have to
manually reenter the time anywhere....
(really dumb idiotic off-topic question - is it possible to setup
Windoze so that it will work when the CMOS clock is GMT? My guess: Of
course not!)
