Hi,

I have installed some workstations and unfortunately I cant use netstart to 
make them boot in the morning. (Old switches). So I made them start via bios 
start. Problem is the hardware clock get synced at shutdown, but it does not 
get the proper timezone. Instead of getting my local timezone they get the 
universal timezone.

As example, I do ltsp-chroot and then dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Then I set timezone to Stockholm. It accepts the settings and prints;
Local time is now: sometime
Universal time is now: two hours earlier then above.

But the workstations get there hardware clocks set to the universal time at 
shutdown, not the local time. Why? How can I fix this? Of course I can set the 
bios start time two hours to early to compensate, but that seems to be a bit of 
a hack.

Another problem I noticed is that if you log in to a ws and then logout again 
within a minute or so, and then you log in to the next one (for testing 
purposes) you can do that about three times, and then you get the dreaded 
message that it "cant mount home dir, using /" preventing you from logging in 
for some time. Anyone seen this and know how to fix it? Of course its not that 
big issue, since that login behaviour is not very common, but I dont see why it 
happens.

Greetings George
