Why not just create a custom time-zone with the unusual offset? Then

Hmmmmm .... A *quite* interesting suggestion. Some buddies of mine
call my time MST, for Mahaffey Std. Time. Unfortunately I don't know
quite how to do that :-/ .... Also, would that require changes on all
other boxen as well ? I do need ntpd or timed because I do some light
developement w/ code resident on 1 box & compiled under make on
others, so I *do* need some sort of time synchronization ....
However, I *do* like that idea, any clues for me :-) ? Thanks & TIA ....
man 3 tzset
