time is 5 hours ahead (using ntp)

1999-11-04 Thread Brian J. Stults
I'm using ntp and it's working just fine.  The problem for me is that
the time is always 5 hours ahead of what it should be.  I think this is
something in the kernel settings, right?  I set it to report GMT or UTP
or something, and I'm in the EST zone.  Can someone tell me how to
switch that back?

Thanks,
Brian

Make sure your /etc/timezone is set up properly.  On my machine,
/etc/timezone contains
EST5EDT

I'm using tick.usno.navy.mil and tock.usno.navy.mil for my timeservers
in ntp.conf
