From: Job Snijders <job () ntt net> on this topic, i strongly recommend to operate all devices in the Etc/UTC timezone, this makes coordination with external entities much easier. ---------------------------------------- Yes, this! Holy crap I come upon a lot of networks that don't do this and it's always painful.
Newfoundland time, anybody? :) ------------------------------------ I had to go and look that up: "The Newfoundland Time Zone (NT) is a geographic region that keeps time by subtracting 3 1⁄2 hours from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) during standard time, resulting in UTC−03:30; or subtracting 2 1⁄2 hours during daylight saving time." WTF??? This is exactly what I mean on a geographicly dispersed network. Do everything UTC and put clocks on your computer/wall/phone/whatever. Then, like Job said, it's easier to coordinate with others not in your timezone. scott
