In Unix/Linux/Posix, time is counted in "seconds since the epoch" and is timezone-agnostic. The timezone is only used when converting to/from this number of seconds from/to the usual "year/month/day/hour/minutes/...". > So the printer is 4 hours behind me here on > US/Eastern or America/NewYork zone, both seem to work correctly here. "The printer" is probably not 4 hours behind anything. Presumably it's just some part of the printer's software which chooses to use PST when *displaying* time information. > So the next question is, is ntpsec serving my time, or utc. It's serving *the* time :-) Stefan
