1. Make sure MacOS knows what time it is.
2. Make sure MacOS knows what time zone it is, and about daylight
savings time. Check the Date & Time control panel, and the Map control panel.
3. Make sure the link in /etc/localtime points to the right file.
4. If you're using linux-ppc, make sure you've added 'clock -s' to your
/etc/rc.d/rc.local script.
5. Type 'echo $TZ'. If it doesn't seem right, try 'unsetenv TZ'. (Something
else in bash. Hmm.) If 'date' is right now, then you've got a
script somewhere setting TZ to a bogus value.

Additional Info:
Right now, MkLinux has problems on some (all?) PCI Macs to correctly read
the timezone set in MacOS; i.e it will not read GMT out of the Mac RTC, but
will read localtime instead .
I believe this is fixed in DR 2.1 Update 5. -- pg@sweng.stortek.com
The workaround is to set your timetone to GMT for the time being.
On the same subject of clocks, all PCI Macs with a bus speed other than 40 MHz
will have drifting clocks. This is a known bug and should be fixed on some
future version.
You can mail me if you need a workaround (= hacking the kernel...)

I put a workaround for the clock drift under MkLinux. See category /mklinux/?
