My breezy has it wrong :( I didn't alter the standard install. If I recall it points at ubuntu's own timeserver? So does the rest of my mix of apples/debian/ubuntu I've got a local network timeserver pointing at ntp.syd.connect.com.au which seems to be getting the wrong time. Is there a timeserver that is giving the right time?
