SUSE 10 hour offset
Date command on my SUSE 10 system is showing the correct date, time zone, and minute, but the hour is off by 6 hours. How do I change the hour offset?

How do I change the hour offset? Sounds like a mismatch between what time zone the hardware clock (or z/VM system clock if running on z/VM) is in, and what you told the system about it. Make sure you know what the hardware clock is set to, and then check that /etc/sysconfig/clock reflects that correctly, and that you have /etc/localtime set to the correct time zone.

Re: SUSE 10 hour offset
Seems to me that we had to learn to set the UTC or Local parameter in the YaST Timezones screens, depending on how our hardware and/or VM settings were set, like Mark said. Just food for thought!

Re: SUSE 10 hour offset
I found the YaST Date screen to set the hardware clock to UTC, but it didn't seem to have any effect. I wonder if an IPL is required?

I wonder if an IPL is required? On System z, that doesn't change the hardware clock, it's just intended to tell the rest of the system whether the clock is set to UTC or local time. You just need to make sure you have it accurately reflect the real situation. And, you need to make sure your time zone is correctly set for the system. Does date -R reflect the correct offset for your time zone?
