Hello,
I am having trouble with time on a machine when I boot with systemd. The clock is ahead of actual time by the value of time zone offset.
Funny thing is when I boot with initscripts, time is reported correctly.
I have this problem on one machine but other machine works correctly. The only difference I can spot is hwclock reports local time, on the machine where time is correct.
Whats the magic that I am missing?

Make sure you symlink your timezone to /etc/localtime as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginner%27s_Guide#Timezone
