OK, I'm an idiot. I just spent about 30 minutes trying to decipher
manpages and other documentation that explained the difference in Unix

Of course, now I have to change my cron job to update the Hardware
Clock instead of the System clock, then update the system clock from
the hardware clock. *sigh* At least when I have to reboot into
Windows, the time will be right. :-)
