Subject: Re: [9fans] fs sntp - GMT or localtime?
Date: Mon,  7 Oct 2002 14:57:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0e4a3d4c3fa727e21eb07d15c1dc375e@collyer.net> (raw)

All Plan 9 (and Unix) systems use GMT internally.  They expect the
local hardware clock to be in GMT also, though Plan 9 should reset it
to GMT if it wasn't (via sntp on file servers and timesync on all
others).  If you're dead set on running your hardware clock in local
time for the benefit of MS Windows, it's possible to run `timesync -L'.
