Why? What can override it?
Please, don't mix up local time (a device to show to you, done somewhere in libc) with kernel time (as traded between NTP and friends). That way lies madness. Kernel time is *always* number of seconds since some Epoch (typically 1970-01-01). No EST or whatever nonsense in there. And this is the terms in which NTPs trade (OK, they have fractions of sec in there, but that's it). Nothing else. Unix boxes aren't DOS, haven't ever been. Actually you should know that. Cheers -- t
