[arch-general] time zone problem with systemd

[Shridhar Daithankar]

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?
