It did for me (newly-installed FC4 system on Dell Dimension,
hwclock from util-linux-2.12p-9.5).
I notice also that:
(*) hwclock produces output if run from one of the virtual text
consoles, but not if run from an xterm (unless piped to another
command, as you describe above).
(*) /sbin/hwclock does not produce output, but if I copy /sbin/hwclock
to, say, /root/hwclock, /root/hwclock produces output.
(*) If run as /sbin/hwclock, strace output indicates that the program
makes a call to ioctl, which works in a text console but not in an
xterm. If run as /root/hwclock, it doesn't make that call, and all
is well.
Interesting. Maybe one of the SELinux gurus is willing to jump in an
enlighten us mortals.
Just an FYI, but the selinux-policy-targeted package from
updates-testing fixed this hwclock problem for me....

- Fixes for cups, hwclock, system_passwd, samba_net
Now "hwclock --show | cat" works, but "hwclock --show" does not (in a
gterm and after "su").
