Note that "hwclock --show" will always show the clock in local time, irrespective of whether it is UTC or LOCAL in the hardware clock itself. # hwclock --show Mon 03 Dec 2012 10:45:33 CET -0.903079 seconds # TZ=UTC hwclock --show Mon 03 Dec 2012 09:45:40 UTC -0.988834 seconds > How can I keep the H/W to UTC then and how can I apply different > timezone to different login user ? say someone use german and another > different > login user use uk timezone. dpkg-reconfigure sure change the H/W timezone to > UTC, but > also changes local.
