 I use  Om 2008.8 with timezone MET (cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin
 /etc/localtime).

 after setting system time with ntpdate and reboot (ntpdate at startup
 disabled) the system time is wrong (off bu 2 hours).

 triggering atd after ntpdate sets the hwclock to UTC (checked both by
 strace and by "pkill atd ; hwclock").

 but after reboot, the hwclock shows UTC-2 resulting in wrong system time.



 how I use the following patch and system time is always correct, even
 after reboot:
