Perhaps you want your clock to be Pacific Daylight Time, but have set your UTC clock to PDT instead? Try running "date" with no arguments: $ date Wed May 3 14:08:18 PDT 2000 If the time matches the clock on the wall, but the timezone isn't right for where you are, try copying /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles to /etc/localtime, and using the "date" command to set the time; the example in the manual page gives: # The command: # # date 1432 # # sets the time to 2:32 PM, without modifying the date. Run "date" to make sure it's sane, and fire up xntpd again. -- Matthew Hunt <mph@astro.caltech.edu> * Stay close to the Vorlon. http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
