'scuse the crosspost. Wasn't sure which was more appropriate.

We switched over to daylight savings time here in Australia just recently
and it reminded me how obscure the process would be for newbies to alter
rtc_offset in the kernel without having to recompile. One for the FAQ?
Something like...

su to root
gdb --write /netbsd (or whatever the kernel is called)
set rtc_offset <new_offset>
quit
reboot or instructions on how to use sysctl

With examples and more explanation, of course.

Cheers,
