I've tried following the instruction on the FAQ for setting the date 
on my machine, but still it refuses to report time as anything 
reasonable.

When it is 4:25 CDT (in Chicago--set correctly in Mac OS 7.1 Map 
control panel), I can issue the "date" command and get 14:04 GMT. 
That isn't even the correct GMT.  I've set the Date & Time control 
panel correctly.

Why?
