date returned by "date" on my linux system is always 4 hours behind
the real time, with something like this:
Mon Jul 1 09:37:22 EDT 1996
when the real time 13:37 EDT.
I think that my PC's machine clock is 13:37. It looks that linux think
the machine's time is GMT, thus set the local time (EDT) to 09:37.
How can I make linux think that the machine's time is local time,
rather than GMT?
I also found that just after I started the system, I got:
Mon Jul 1 13:37:22 1996
without the timezone. Shortly I will get:
Mon Jul 1 09:37:22 EDT 1996
if I use "date" to set the new date to "13:37:22", I think that it will
set the machine's clock to "17:37:22". Thus the time within windows and
DOS won't be correct.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
