I am not german, nor do I use ntpdate. However, it is very unlikely that the problem is ntpdate because that package is completely unrelated to local time representation. > on my other linuxboxes I use netdate instead of ntpdate. > netdate gets the correct time... ntpdate doesnt.... No, if they function at all, they get the correct time... they both get UTC... always. Your system is responsible for converting UTC to your local time... and that conversion is independent of the package you use to synchronize your system clock. > I think my problem belongs to definitions of time zones, > but I am just guessing..... Well, your intuition is on target... now you just need to learn how to follow through on your hunch: http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/butime.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
