Re: Daylight savings testing
I think you've missed my point on this one Shay. My point was: why didn't my clock roll back the second daylight saving should have finished (03:00 WDT 25 Mar)? And secondly, why does my time zone say WST instead of WDT? Derek said that in his testing it too didn't roll back when it should but did within an hour. I repeated my test and left it for quite a while ( 2h) and it still hadn't rolled back. I'm aware of what you said about NTP (my sentence actually said the same thing as you) and I had made a very similar comment on this list to someone else previously. cheers woz PS On further testing just now and using the date -u command to check for time differences from UTC, I see that If you set the clock to anything past 02:00 on 25 Mar, it assumes that DS has ended. So to do my test properly I assume I'd have to set the clock to 01:59, and wait 61 mins instead of setting it to 02:59 and waiting 1 minute. So I'll therefore conclude that the end of DS will work as it should. But it would be nice if Apple displayed WDT when it should instead of always WST.

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) simply synchronises the computers idea of what UTC (ie Greenwich Mean Time) is. Applying Timezone changes to UTC to work out what the local computer's time is is left to each individual computer's OS. Thus not being connected to NTP shouldn't make any difference for purposes of testing the daylight savings changeover. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1305.html http://www.ntp.org/
Re: Daylight savings testing
Has the lack of roll-back got something to do with it only being 2 March 2007? Merv At 11:46 AM +0900 2/3/07, Warren Jones wrote: I think you've missed my point on this one Shay.
