Sorry for the multiple negatives. Actually I'm saying the exact
opposite: I'm saying that I would expect a Unix-like OS to keep the
hardware clock in UTC when no other operating systems are involved. At
the risk of belabouring the point, Unix-like operating systems simply
work better with the hardware clock in UTC; system administrators tend
to find this out every six months when daylight savings time switches on
or off, especially if some of their systems happen to go down during the
relevant window. (Of course the use of NTP works around some of these
issues.)
It seems like OpenSolaris has made a serious mistake, but thanks for the
information. I've unfortunately left it a bit late to change this for
Ubuntu 8.10 now, but we can do it for 9.04.
