I put my hdwe clocks on UCT 18 years ago with my first redhat 5.0
install. The tz files have kept pace for me, so its not been a problem
other that one install in 2002 set it to local but didn't set the hdwe
clock, so on the next reboot, it set the arrival times of 6 messages
before I noticed it, to sometime in 2020. Its a mailing list I do not
expire but even if I did set one, those 6 msgs would still be there.
Shrug....
Lesson #10 for linux, put the hardware clock on UCT, set /your/ time zone
in the locale, and forget about it. It Just Works(TM)
