    I think adjtime is intended for managing clock drift, though I see
    from catting it, it does have "UTC" in it. Hmm ...

       date -s '+Sat Jul 28 14:23:25 UTC 2001' # edit to taste.
       hwclock --adjust # fiddles/updates adjtime
       hwclock --systohc # write systime to bios clock

    At least, I think that's how it's supposed to work. Then have cron do
    "/sbin/hwclock --hctosys --utc" daily.
