Timeconfig should change nothing. After all, both date and ls are using
the same libs and timezone defns to adjust things. So nothing you do
with timeconfig should affect one and not the other. Likewise for
arguments about hardware clocks etc.
More questions:
- is the filesystem local or remote?
- is the filesystem some DOS-type one or a UNIX-ish ext2 one?
I'm grasping at straws here, imagining weird remote clocks or filesystems
which want to store local time (like DOS).
