ntp knows nothing about time zones. It gets the remote time in UTC. time zone info is all handled by your local machine. On unix/linux/.. (sensible machnes) the machine time is ALWAYS UTC. time routines do the translation using a file called /etc/localtime. On windows it is more difficult, since Microsoft has never heard of timezones, so you have to kludge it yourself. Exactly how your machine or your implimentation of ntp kludges it I do not know. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
