That's the correct time now, but the guide is STILL showing the wrong time, 
it's showing the 1700-1800 viewing period and 1709 in the top left corner.

Under the nightly build, I do remember that working, but I don't remember 
that working with 0.3.4

That seems to be working fine.

I do set it via dhcp, on the mvp's it doesn't seem to take, works fine with 
all the other machines on the lan though.
 
group {
next-server 10.12.13.14;          # name of your TFTP server
option ntp-servers pool.ntp.org;

           option root-path "/home/mvp,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nolock";
  }

It was something either you or Roger (IIRC) mentioned a while back (last year 
sometime) in relation to getting the hostname setup on the mvp for use in 
saving settings to a file on a per hostname basis.  As it stands now, I 
export the settings using the ip address instead.

Contrary to your assertion, the items following do get run as I am able to 
access the diretories and contents just fine.
