Anyway, to check the end of the DS, I disabled NTP and set my clock
to 25 Mar 2007 02:59:50 and was hoping that in 10 secs the time
would be 02:00:00. Instead it just rolls over to 03:00:00.
I would have expected the DS zone changes to be independent of the
NTP activation.
Comments?
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.
