Then your clock is wrong - or at least, your kernel is wrong for your
clock conventions.  If /etc/localtime isn't there, the OS takes you to
be running in GMT.  If that displays the correct local time, then your
hardware is set to local time but the kernel is assuming it's set to
GMT.  (Almost certainly, at least; there are other conceivable
combinations, but that's really the only plausible one.)  This won't
matter much, except for getting the timezone wrong in things like mail
headers, except that if you're in a location that does daylight time
you'll have to actually change your clock twice a year instead of the
usual thing (which is monotonic time, with the daylight time conversion
dealt with when converting to and from human-readable form).  You will
also have trouble as soon as you try to exchange timestamps with the
rest of the world, such as if you ever get that machine on the net and
try to speak NTP....
