[Grml] with deepest apologies

[Martin Yazdzik]

My curiosity gets the better of me....


start debug, date gives NY, login as root, date still gives NY.  login
as yazdzik, but use root terminal, date gives Wien, thus explaining why
the admin mode of kcontrol does so, as it is using a different tty, so
to speak.

So, now we know:

1. debug mode, date is always correct, NY
2. whether debug or normal grml boot, gdm always gives correct date
reading when logged in as root or user
3. in X(gdm) su to root in zsh gives date as Wien, not NY, as does gksu
terminal, as does kcontrol as root (or switching to admin mode via gui
in kcontrol), irrespective of desktop(kde, gnome, flux)
4. logging into kde from gdm as root, kcontrol gives correct reading, NY
5. kdm always gives wrong date reading - at reboot, bios is reset to
CEST, so next boot is six hours ahead of NY time.  Note well, not to
GMT, but CEST!!! 

So, all relevant information is there - what causes this and how do we
remedy it?


An ashamed and sorry Martin begs for patience and forbearance. (duldsam
comes out weird in English ;) )

Any ideas at all?
