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?
