Subject:   xntpd using UTC
Message-ID:  <199705231903.NAA14328@slintimates.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I am setting up a FreeBSD box (2.1.7.1) as an xntpd server for our local   
net.  I want people to be able to coordinate their Win95 PC's using   
AtomTime95 or some such utility.

Using AtomTime, I am able to get time service from the FreeBSD box but it   
comes back as EST/EDT time when AtomTime is expecting UTC.  I tried   
setting the default timezone in FreeBSD to UTC but could not find an   
option for it.

I need some way to:

1)  Set the FreeBSD box so that xntpd returns UTC time, either by setting   
UTC as the default time zone or
 configuring an offset into xntpd's answers.  (Or some other option?)
2)  Get a Win95 utility which can be set to expect EST/EDT time.

3)  Or some other option?

Thanks.
