init.d/hwclock.sh and timezones

[h.koenig]

I use Om 2008.8 with timezone MET (cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime).

after setting system time with ntpdate and reboot (ntpdate at startup disabled) the system time is wrong (off bu 2 hours).

triggering atd after ntpdate sets the hwclock to UTC (checked both by strace and by "pkill atd ; hwclock").

but after reboot, the hwclock shows UTC-2 resulting in wrong system time.

how I use the following patch and system time is always correct, even after reboot:
