[SUMMARY] time synchronization via ntpdate in Solaris9

Thanks to ddunham@tsg.taos.com for helping me out.

The /etc/default/init file had an incorrect timezone.
I changed TZ to"US/Eastern" and rebooted.

The server showed the clock was off by (you guessed it) 10 hours.
I ran "ntpdate -vsw time.nist.gov" and was sync'ed to the correct time.

original post|  I think there's a misconfiguration somewhere, and I originally thought it
original post|  was the timezone.  But /etc/default/init has "TZ=GMT-5"
original post|
original post|  But my  "date" output shows:   Thu Nov 7 13:00:00 GMT 2002
original post|
original post|  How can I have ntpdate synchronize my clock correctly?

original post|  Thanks.
