Right now it's correct: tv mythtv # date Sun Sep 11 23:52:49 PDT 2005 However after some time it will return to being 8 hours earlier. I also saw in another thread that you could show your hardware clock by this command: tv mythtv # hwclock Sun Sep 11 23:54:54 2005 -0.081182 seconds Don't know if that helps or not.

[gentoo-user] ntpd timezone
I'm new to Gentoo. I've built a system based on the 2.6-11 kernel and everything has been working fine. Some time passed and I thought it a good idea to update. Thus I ran emerge -uvD world to update. Then I ran etc-update to merge the conf files. I basically accepted replacement of conf files I didn't think I'd changed and merged the ones I did change. However, now ntpd seems to make my time about 8 hours behind my local time. I am on PDT. I suspect ntpd is seeing PDT as GMT and then the system is subtracting the 8 hours. What file(s) should I look at to get things back to normal?
