Ok you unlucky ones, here it is: I live in Hawaii. I have spent a lot of time and effort setting my time to "gmt-10"= hawaii time. I realise that the work ethic around here does leave a lot of room to move around in, HOWEVER: as soon as I turned the xntpd daemon on, well, actually about 4-5 hours later, the kde displayed time jumped to California time, 2 hours ahead!!!! That would be too much for most but the real hard core "hawaii time die hards"!!
xntp knows nothing about Hawaii or California time: it uses only UTC time. The conversion to local time is done by your system. As a matter of fact, you should check what the command "date" says about the hour you have, not kde. And by the way, you should not tinker with the hour while xntp is running. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
