System time wrong after running ntpdate because DST ignored
- by Ian Dunn
When I run ntpdate, my system clock displays the time as an hour behind what it should be. I know that ntpdate does everything in UTC, so I'm guessing there's a timezone setting wrong and it's ignoring Daylight Savings Time, but I can't figure it out.
Here's what I've done so far:
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST /etc/localtime to set the timezone
Set UTC=true in /etc/sysconfig/clock so that DST will be automatically applied
date -s hh:mm::ss to set system clock correctly
hwclock -systohc --utc to set the hardware clock correctly
At this point date and hwclock both display the correct time.
But if I then run ntpdate 0.us.pool.ntp.org, the date output is an hour behind what it should be.
I've looked at a dozen tutorials and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Does anyone have any ideas?
