Its running Red Hat Linux 7.1. Is that buggy? ;-)

linuxconf says zone is "Europe/Amsterdam" and I remember
selecting that when I installed it. date +%Z says "CET".

This is /etc/sysconfig/clock:
ZONE="Europe/Amsterdam"
UTC=false
ARC=false

By the way, according to a reliable local source there was no
summer time in the Netherlands between 1945 and 1977, but I'm
not sure if the timezone configs of Red Hat are aware of that
:-)

Thanks for your efforts.
