Thomas, I'm afraid you are confused about the operation of NTP. NTP has no concept of time zones or local time. While it could, in theory, be synchronized to any time, effectively, it only knows about UTC (also, often called GMT). It is up to the local system to translate this into local time. Both Windows and Unix platforms (including MacOS) support this, but they require that the systems have accurate time zone information. You need to talk to your system admin people to get this taken care of. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
