okay.  you had said that kickstart creates /etc/sysconfig/clock,
and that that's what you'd fixed.  mtd's distro has "UTC=True" in
that file, so i figured he already had your fix.  there must be
more to it i guess.  oh -- unless soas-on-xo1 doesn't use kickstart,
and more needs to happen if it doesn't.
