Can you elaborate more on this?
I was expecting that when I did the ff:
# ntpdate ph.pool.ntp.org
12 Feb 15:40:59 ntpdate[3094]: step time server 202.92.128.201 offset 3814728.167216 sec
# date
Thu Feb 12 15:41:33 PHT 2009
the time displayed will be reflected on the hardware. However, what I've got is the UTC-based.
System Time 07:43:50
System Date Thu 02/12/2009
