Hi Jack,

Thanks for your review.  I agree that including the comment will make the
file more complete.  However, I tend to want to leave it out.
This is because this particular change is just a temporary workaround.
The real solution is to run the rtc command in a separate zone so nothing
on the underlying system gets affected.   I know that including the
comment is just a simple series of "echo" statements, but I think it makes
the code harder to read with these extra echo statements.  For 
developers and hackers,
they can easily just look up the same information from the rtc man page or
the actual code itself.

Thanks,

--Karen
