I am sure that this has been rehashed a bunch of times, but I can't seem
to get it through my thick skull...

I have a RedHat 6.0 system, 2.2.13 kernel. I need to configure the darn
thing to keep the right time. I can't seem to correctly configure the
hardware clock so that it correctly deals with DST.

I tried setting it to UTC using RedHat's tools, but it had no effect.
The time zone information must be correct, since the calendar displays
EDT, but the hardware clock and the system clock are now exactly
backwards..... The hardware clock is one hour ahead of the system
clock.

Wed Apr 19 13:48:25 EDT 2000
Wed Apr 19 14:48:26 2000 -0.940635 seconds

What files do I need to change (by hand, not through possibly broken GUI
tools) to make this right?

Thanks,

Which is right? (It looks like your message was posted at 16:58 ...).
Has your system been (re)booted since the DST changeover? Is your TZ
environment variable set?

Once you get your timezone and system time right (ntpdate from the xntp
package can do that) use 'setclock' in RedHat (or possibly clock -w in
other distros) to set the CMOS clock to match system time. Although, my
CMOS clock is localtime, since I (rarely) dual boot.
