ntp (and the like) use UTC, which does not "Spring Forward" or "Fall Back", as everything that really cares about accurate time should. > I can use the date command to set it correctly, but > after the next reboot it's back to its old games. Pointers? You probably need to make sure your TIMEZONE in /etc/conf.d/clock and/or or /etc/localtime are set properly. Generally, you DON'T want to set them to CST (or similar) since that doesn't sf/fb either (instead most of the area covered by CST switches to CDT), although some like CST6CDT might work. Instead you'll want to use (Type/)Region/(SubRegion/)City for a city that uses the same timezone rules as you. E.g. America/Chicago, America/Kentucky/Monticello, posix/US/Central, or right/America/Indiana/Knox (All the timezones supported by your libc are under /usr/share/zoneinfo.) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
