Setting UTC to true means that you are using UTC based clock which is five hours ahead of EST.

Set time and date from BIOS setup and rebooted the server. 2. cat /etc/sysconfig/clock ZONE="America/Toronto" UTC=true ARC=false 3. The ntp.conf file and ntpservers files were copied from another server which is exactly the same hardware-wise. That other server has the correct time/date. 4. a) cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada b) cp -p Pacific /etc/localtime; c) date; Tue Dec 1 07:29:11 PST 2009 <== the time changed BUT 5 hrs behind actual clock e) cp -p Eastern /etc/localtime; f) date; Tue Dec 1 10:30:15 EST 2009 <== the time changed BUT 5 hrs behind actual current time from another server which is showing Tue Dec 1 15:31:23 EST 2009 Any idea what is causing the clock to be 5 hrs behind? TIA for your help.
