[kingsly@utopia kingsly]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/clock
ZONE="Asia/Calcutta"
UTC=false
ARC=false
SRM=false
[kingsly@utopia kingsly]$
The problem is that you have probably set that the system clock is in
UTC/GMT so linux being *intelligent* adds 5.5 hrs... but since your system
clock is actually at IST... you land up 5.5 hrs in the future!!
alternate option... set the system clock to GMT!! :o)
btw a cool command for setting time on your machine....
rdate
#rdate -s time.gmt.org
(syncs ur comp with the clocks at Greenwich!!)
