I live in Italy, GMT+1.
I have a NetBSD machine (1.6 currently) whose kernel is set to have a 0 
minutes west of GMT (west???). Hence, hardware clock is set to GMT.
I have a symlink for /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+1

Now the problems:
1) "date" gives the time 2 hours behind localtime (as if I told it to use 
GMT-1)
2) sending mails puts headers like this: (from a mail I sent today)
Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2003 12:00:18 -0100 (GMT+1)
Now, GMT time is still correct (13:00:18) but local time was 14:00:18, the 
time should be +0100 (GMT+1) not -0100 (GMT-1)

I really don't understand what and why happens.

Any help?
