rtc is set to local time in pc bios

date command gives time:
   3 hours off from rtc in standalone terminal
   4 hours off from rtc in standalone cpu/auth server

file /adm/timezone/local is same as /adm/timezone/US_Michigan

ps -a |grep timesync

should say timesync -rL if you want to
sync against the bios clock.

it does show a process 'timesync'

I tried
   timesync -rL

timesync: '/bin/timesync' file doesn't exist

I did not see it in /sys/src/cmd too.

it's called aux/timesync.
"man timesync" would have told you this.

it gets started in cpurc and termrc.
