Setting clock to local time

[Siri Amrit Kaur]

Clock wierdness has once again sprung up in my system. A week or so 
ago my clock in KDE was four hours off. I tried to reset it but 
couldn't.

I checked the BIOS and it was 4 hours slow and 2 days ahead. I don't 
know why. I corrected it and it's set for UTC -7 hours. 

Now my mail is always showing the wrong time it was received. It shows 
UTC time, not UTC-7. For example, the most recent messages on the 
PLUG list say they arrived at 10:27 PM instead of 3:27 PM. Right now 
it's 3:34 PM.

hwclock --show currently gives me 22:34

How do I set the system to local time?

TIA,

Siri Amrit
