Isn't four 'A' used for IPv6?

You have a DNS problem there, or you stated the wrong site.

Why is it an hour slow? If I disable ntp, I get the correct time.
Where do you see above that it is an hour slow? Is that log for a machine in Spain? The locale is wrong.
The time zone is wrong. The time is wrong. It was installed in UK. It's now in Spain. Why doesn't the ntp server tell it where it is?
The ntp server does not care where it is placed, because it always use UTC time. It is you who cares where you (not the machine) is, and you have not told the system that the local time is for Spain, not the UK.
I can remember a map of the world screen in Yast installation and various time options. If I could get back to that, I'd probably be able to solve this. Is the only way to change the region of a machine by reinstalling?
YaST --> date and time settings. The map is there. Or simply edit "/etc/sysconfig/clock", the entry: TIMEZONE="Europe/Madrid" DEFAULT_TIMEZONE="Europe/Madrid" But then you have to run something that does what SuSEconfig did, but it was deprecated and I don't know what replaces it now. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
