Is there a known issue with timezones in plan 9 under vmware?

I have an auth server built on a PC that works fine in this regard,
however in using plan 9 terminals running under vmware, the clocks act
strange.

VMWare is running under Windows 2000 with the hardware clock set to
local time, timezone for Windows is EST, timezone in Plan 9 is EST and
the time is (I think this is right) 3 hours early.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Will Collum

sure it's not 5 hours early?
i think vmware just passes bios
reads through, so if you are running

aux/timesync -rL

in cpurc you should be fine.

note that the default cpurc timesync's to
plan9.bell-labs.com, which might be blocked
by vmware or by something along the way.
