I run an ntp server for the pc's connected to my home network.
When daylight savings times rolls around I get errors about too large a difference to change the time. How would I fix this?
The best I can remember was I had to reboot the server and go into CMOS to change the time.
Should be interesting under SuSE, but both my debian and win98 box do this automagically. (I have not run SuSE since like 5.3, currently 9.1 on a test system)
After viewing some of these messages, I went to look further into this and noticed that the reason for the above problem is that NTP on SuSE is not running the local clock as UTC, but as local time with timezone. That is an absolute BOO BOO. http://www.akadia.com/services/ntp_synchronize.html Time synchronization should be done with UTC, while time presentation should be done in local time. Local time, is merely an offset from UTC. Seems to me, that someone made a mess of things. NTP in SuSE is not working as it should, from where I see it.
