Hi there,
I have built ntpdate so that I can synchonise the clock with a time server. I live in New Zealand, which is currently 13 hours ahead of UTC. I *thought* all I had to do was boot with code tz=UTC+13 and then run ntpdate to grab the time.
However, this sets the clock to 13 hours behind UTC. After much mucking around (e.g. trying tz=GMT+13, setting the hardware clock to UTC or localtime, using bootcode 'noutc') the only way I could get ntpdate to play nicely was to boot with tz=UTC-13.
While this works, it's hardly intuitive... Am I missing something obvious? How is the tz bootcode supposed to be used?
Cheers
Andrew
