It's probably the result of the TZ environment variable getting set/changed at some point in the ssh login (which these days is normally pretty complex process-wise due to the "privilege separation" used - there is a "main" sshd daemon running as root as usual, but a non-privileged sshd process runs the protocol handshake, and then there is another sshd process that runs as the logged-in user...). Anyway nothing to do with ntpd, as already established. --Per Hedeland [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
