Are you running local apps?
If NO then nothing ever uses the local ws time.
If YES then run timed which will keep the local ws synced to the
server.
I think rdate does the same thing. (don't know what time server it uses)
I think ntptime is a bit heavyweight, but also does the same.

Why no superuser? eg from my /tft../ltd/../etc/inittab
1:35:respawn:/bin/sh -login
How about telnet?

/etc/localtime must be the "localtime" file (which sets TZ) ie for Perth
I use a file that says GMT+8
BIOS time depends on UTC or localtime. If UTC then biostime+TZ = wstime.

Clearly differenciate time and timezone
08:00:00 Perthtime is 00:00:00 GMT
