Found! In termrc:

TIMESYNCARGS=(-rLa1000000)


I guess this is a default what we should document somewhere. Or,
reversely, do not make it a default, and document how to change if
local time is stored.

Something still not clear: date (shell) was using the incorrect time
(local when RTC was in UTC), but fileserver was using correct that is
fileserver took the rtc but did not apply what aux/timesync applies.
Because fossil is mounted _before_ since termrc is served by fossil?
