No. It displays the same offset into the future in reference to the
SkyScan clock.
Also, I have escalated my effort on this. I actually have three(3)
Debian boxes, all showing 6.0.6 in /etc/debian-version. At the moment
two are running Ntp, and one is running chrony. All show the same
offset to as much precision as I can muster eyeballing to displays at
once visually. Could there have been a recent change in NIST broadcast
signalling standard that my rather old SkyScan is not handling
properly? Very unlikely, I know. But if I say that the Debian displays
of internet time are actually correct/true/whatever and the SkyScan is
confused, that explains the situation. But is that believable? I don't
think so, at least, not believable to this aging physicist who has had
knowledge of NIST since childhood when it was located inside
Washington, DC, and was called the Bureau of Standards. The facility
in Boulder did not yet exist then. There is a continuity of existence
that makes such a speculation silly to me. The info from the three systems:
