Oh, for heavens sake !  Here I sit in Vancouver Canada watching all of
this.

Now look...forget it !  I forget about my damd CMOS clock all together.

Just do this from your rc.local , then simply run a crom
every hour;

netdate time.u.washington.edu

Put it in it's own little script or something you might dream up.

That sets you linux/unix/any-other-unix clock to the appropriate
time with no troubles

netdate or ntpd work well for this
