you are in luck, i still have the reply from the semi-legendary Tom Brinkman himself
about the same problem
[PASTE]
hwclock --hctosys
Set the System Time from the Hardware Clock.
hwclock --systohc
Set the Hardware Clock to the current System Time.
(see man hwclock) I use this alias in bashrc to set both
hardware and software clocks to a time server (U of Houston)
alias tdate="rdate -p -s tick.uh.edu && hwclock --systohc"
You'll probly need to install rdate, it's on your CD's. You'll
also need to find a public time server in your time zone (Google).

but i havent even tried it yet because of the public time server thing which is not
always accessible to me (i may not be understanding it correctly but charge it to my
personal stupidity ;-). i made do with not selecting any timezone in linux. i now have
the same time in the two OS in my box.
ciao!
