I also saw this in the Debian Adminstrator's Manual, but, now...
<Paul Harvey>The Rest of the Story.</Paul Harvey> (TM)
When I made this change the init scripts dutifuly saved the system time
to the hwclock creating an erroneous time setting when I shut down.
I rebooted and nothing seemed to change, until yesterday.
I popped the XP drive in and the time was five hours off
(US/Central on DST = GMT - 5 hrs) so I set the time correctly. Later
in the day I popped the Debian drive back in and whaddayaknow?
The time was correct.
Apparently, setting UTC="no" is exactly the change that worked, I was
just too dense to see it right away. All is well now.
Thanks to everyone.
