In my Kickstart script, I specify:

timezone --utc GMT/London

But in the resulting OS, I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ date
Mon Mar 31 14:08:51 EDT 2008

/etc/localtime is a real file, not a symlink.  If I link /etc/localtime
to /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT, my date is correct:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# date
Mon Mar 31 18:09:54 GMT 2008

(Yes, I know the two dates are from different hosts :-) )

But now the hwclock is always 12 hours off:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# hwclock
Mon 31 Mar 2008 06:10:49 PM GMT  -0.956927 seconds
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# hwclock --systohc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# hwclock
Mon 31 Mar 2008 06:10:58 PM GMT  -0.262299 seconds


Any ides why RHEL4u5 is screwing up the timezone to begin with?  I know
I can fix this in %post, but it'd be nice to know what's wrong and how
to fix it correctly.  Also, why the clock / hwclock discrepancy?
