The hardware clock should probably be in UTC and then linux will simply
display your local time according to the TZ variable or whatever
timezone you are in. This behaviour seems normal to me.

I believe that most UNIX boxes that I have used have the hardware clock
set to GMT/UTC---I guess this could be considered a standard. At any
rate, you should probably be using something like NTP anyway just to be
safe. :)
