 UTC obviously.

 This is equivalent to the one Tom suggested.  It doesn't add or remove
 anything to the meaning.  It also uses a passive form that is sometimes
 considered to be bad style :p
 
 If the comment needs to describe two cases, there should be two
 simpler sentences instead of one that doesn't quite cut it.  I'd
 probably prefer this written as:
 
 # Adjust the time zone.  See adjkerntz(8) for details.  If your CMOS
 # clock is set to UTC instead of the local time, this does nothing.
