Documentation issue
I believe the documentation on "Setting time, time zones and Daylight" at Savinghttp://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/system-administrator/ch-sysadmin-time.html is incorrect.
The documentation states:
To change the computer to use UTC after installation, edit the file
/etc/default/rcS, change the variable UTC to
no. If you happened to install your system to use local time,
just change the variable to yes to start using UTC. It is best to
reboot after editing /etc/default/rcS to get the changes
effective.
where as the man page for rcS states:
If this option is set to no then the system clock is assumed to be set to local time. If the option is set to yes then the system clock is assumed to be set to something approxi-mating Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Perhaps I'm confused but why would you change UTC=no if you wanted to use UTC?
