I've never used chrony, but that looks good at first glance. > root@mkspi:/etc# date > Mon 04 Dec 2023 07:34:59 AM PST > its 10:35 here, still 3 hours off. The time is *correct*, it's just being reported for a different time zone than you want. > So here on coyote: date -u: > Mon Dec 4 15:47:44 UTC 2023 > but on mkspi: date -u: > Mon 04 Dec 2023 03:47:16 PM UTC Again, both correct. > WTH? Where is that false 12 hour offset coming from? There is no 12 hour offset. One is being reported in 24-hour time, and the other in 12-hour time (it says "PM"), because of different locale definitions. All you need to do is change your system's default time zone, which on Debian involves changing the *file* /etc/timezone and the *symlink* /etc/localtime. Both are required, because some programs use one and some use the other. We've said this in like 3 other emails so far.
