I am using standard tzsetup (/etc/wall_cmos_clock) for a BIOS that
does not live at UTC.  Most of these are just PC's with Phoenix BIOS 
or similar (desktops from Gateway, Dell, Digital, etc).  The machines
are all using ntpdate out of cron to keep the clocks close.  I had
problems when running ntpd as it would allow the machines to drift.
