Hello,
On my desktop at home, when I want to to update the local time (I
live in israel) I run:
ntpdate -s ntpserver.huji.ac.il
And it work OK.
However, there is a server at my work place which I am responsible
for. When I run:
ntpdate -s ntpserver.huji.ac.il
it sets the time to 7 hours earlier (I mean, instead 19:00, it is
12:00).
I assume this has something to do with Time zones, but this machine
has no X windows installed at all so I don't have a GUI for setting
time zones.
What causes this error ?
What should I do ? any advice ?
/etc/localtime is set to EST/EDT (US east coast)
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Jerusalem /etc/localtime
Note that UBUNTU (and possibly debian) use a hard link or a copy of
the file instead of symlink.
Geoff.

situation. i.e possessing less facts or information than can be found
in the Wikipedia.
