I've doublechecked the timezone setting, and it appears to be correct.
The 'date' test seems to work fine:

# date && sleep 60 && date
Thu Aug 28 15:52:19 CDT 2008
Thu Aug 28 15:53:19 CDT 2008

Within a second of one another, I ran:

lguest: cat /dev/time
 1219956674   1219956674748050432   1219956674748050432            4294967296
host: date +%s
1219943774

So lguest is 12900 seconds ahead (= 215 minutes, = 3 hrs 35 minutes).
John, are you getting the same?

Best,
Alex
