I agree, I run ntp on every single computer I own, but I was talking in general. But for a server, I'd expect them to use UTC anyways. The only advantage I see to local time is support for other oses or reading the time in the bios, neither of which will probably be a big deal on a server. And for desktop users, they may not bother running ntp or even be on a network. > > Ted -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering.
