Hi all,
The solution to this is eluding me. What changes, other than changing
/etc/timezone, are required to get a Gentoo machine to recognize that it
has moved physically and is living in a new timezone?
I've just moved from Silicon Valley to Tucson, AZ. The machine came up
fine other than time being off by 1 hour which I expected. I changed
/etc/timezone from America/Los_Angeles to America/Phoenix and rebooted and
yet time is still showing California time.
The system clock is UTC. Current Tucson local time as I write this is
about 8:26AM:
c2RAID6 linux # date
Wed Jan 6 07:26:15 PST 2016
c2RAID6 linux # date -u
Wed Jan 6 15:26:18 UTC 2016
c2RAID6 linux #
World Clock shows London currently at 3:27PM

hwclock (a minute or two later) shows the same 1 hour offset:
c2RAID6 conf.d # hwclock -r
Wed Jan 6 07:29:27 2016 .046614 seconds
c2RAID6 conf.d #
What have I forgotten to configure?
If it matters the machine is at least 6 years old and could have lots of
older Gentoo stuff lurking in the background.
Thanks,
Mark
