'ntpdate' sets my time one hour slow?

The command:
ntpdate rolex.usg.edu
sets my clock one hour off.  Right now, it's 9:51pm, but it says 8:51pm. I live in EST (St. Petersburg, FL), and in my rc.conf file, I have:
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
TIMEZONE=EST
I don't think I'm missing anything else.  I just want to put the ntpdate command into a cron file, but it sets it to the wrong time.  Does anybody know what's going on?  I've even tried this when I wasn't drunk.

Probably some issue with daylight saving time. Read the installation howto to find out how to set TIMEZONE something that refers to the place the box is located, not a fixed time zone.

Also, letting the hardware clock running UTC time won't work on a Linux/Wincrap dual-boot box.

  • IPhone 3G Email and Calendar times off by one hour (slow one hour)

    My times which I send/receive emails or put appointments on the calendar are 1 hour slow as compared to my computers. I have Mobile Me and Mobile Me (on the computer) and my Outlook emails and calendars match and my current time is correct on all. On the IPhone 3G the current time is correct but the time a email is sent or received and all appointments on the calendar are both off by one hour (one hour slow on the IPhone 3G).
    I have set time automatically in "settings" to on, and under "email contacts and calendar" I have time zones disabled. I have tried each possible combination of these settings but cannot get the email/calendar times to match between my computers and the IPhone 3G regardless of how these are set.
    I have numerous computers and all times are correct on all. On the IPhone 3G the current time (the clock) is correct, but times in emails and calendar appointments are all off (slow) by exactly one hour no matter what I do.
    Anybody else have this issue, and/or know what the solution might be?
    Thanks

    I have tried that and it did not work. I am now trying it with everything set to enable DST, and see if that works. Everything, so far, seems to be in sync. The phone would be right for a second when you went into the calendar and then change to be an hour off. Strange. I think the settings I have now (all, Windows, MobileMe, and the IPhone 3G set to DSL on, the same) may be working. Only time will tell.
    Thank you.

  • Setting the server time one hour back. Possible issues?

    I need to set the server time one hour back, since the date does not correspond to a standard time switch, I believe I may have problems with flashback querys?, maybe some audit problems? any other issues I am missing?
    Would I need to shut down the instance?

  • Why is the iCloud time one hour behind Exchange?

    When I'm sending calendar invites from my Outlook 2010 on Exchange 2003 Central European Time to an iCloud Account, the invite appaers in the iCloud account one hour too early.
    Both calendar are set to Berlin/Amsterdam timezone.
    Daylight savings are managed on both systems automatically.
    It does not matter if I receive the invitation on my iPhone, or directly in iCloud.com website. It appears all the time one hour too early.
    any ideas?

  • Flash player 9 for Linux, shows time one hour ahead

    Flash player 9 show time one hour ahead on Linux. Has anybody
    seen this behavior?
    I want know if there is any fix/workaround for this?
    try following code on FP9 on Linux Mozilla. My observation
    was it shows time by one hour ahead.
    trace("Current Time "+new Date());
    I hope I am not missing something very basic here.

    Can somebody please confirm/deny this.

  • Server time one hour behind

    Running CF 7 on a Fedora Core Linux system that has the
    system level time zone updates applied. A shell command of 'date'
    returns the correct date and time.
    However, we have some CF services and webpages that rely on
    times and
    #timeFormat(now(), "short")# returns the time one hour
    behind.
    I'm sure it has something to do with the new daylight savings
    time changes ... but as I mentioned above, I have those applied to
    the server and they are working correctly. Is there something that
    needs to be patched to the CF server?
    Any assistance is greatly appreciated - thank you.
    Alan

    Believe I found the issue .. this tech note indicates that
    the JVM needs to be updated for CF to get the correct daylight
    savings time

  • A Verizon cellphone tower in my area is feeding multiple Verizon Customers / Devices with the incorrect time (one hour behind) when we are in range of this tower

    A Verizon cellphone tower in my area is feeding multiple Verizon Customers / Devices with the incorrect time (one hour behind) when we are in range of this tower (in this specific area).   Our phones show the correct time in other areas.   Is there a way to fix or report this?

    The zip code that this is occurring in is: 87102
    Specifically when I am at
    1001 Woodward Pl NE
    Albuquerque, NM 87102
    Upon further investigation, it is happening to anyone with a Verizon handset, regardless of specific device.  I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and my co-worker has a Motorola Droid Turbo and we are both having the issue.  Anyone on a different carrier (T-Mobile, AT&T) is fine, and is not experiencing this issue.
    It actually looks like the cell tower is feeding us the correct time, but its like it forgot daylight savings happened.  So it is feeding us the incorrect time zone/day light savings information.
    When I goto Settings -> Date and Time on my Android device,  I have both "Automatic date and time" and "Automatic time zone" checked.
    the "Automatic timezone" it is pulling from the Verizon cell tower is "Mountain -7".   It is correct that we are in the "Mountain" timezone, but we are currently "Mountain -6" (also known as day light savings).   So the Cell Tower things it MST when it should be MST DST
    When I uncheck "Automatic time zone" and select my own, suddenly it lets me select "Mountain -6" and doesn't even give me the option of "Mountain -7".
    So in conclusion, some cell tower in the area of zip code 87102 forgot that daylight savings ever happened, and is telling cellphones they are in the "Mountain -7" timezone, instead of the correct current timezone of "Mountain -6 DST"
    Edit: Oh, sorry, and to answer your question, it began happening about 3 weeks ago.  We started noticing around March 25th, maybe a little after that.

  • Calendar sync time off by one hour

    When I sync my BB Curve 8530, version 5.0, by Verizon with Outlook 2007 calendar, the appointment time is off by one hour.  The BB Curve always shows the appt time one hour later than Outlook.  When I schedule an all day event, it begins at 1 am and carries over to the next day at 1 am.  I've verified time zone settings for both.  Not sure what else to do or check.  Any advice is greatly appreciated so I won't be late again!!!

  • GetTimezoneOffset got one hour ahead on linux than windows

    I'm using Date object to retrieve current local time for
    display. But got one hour ahead than the system time.
    For an example, I set the system time zone to Hong Kong,
    China. The getTimezoneOffset() return -540 on linux, but on
    Windows, it's -480. So, the time in flash is one hour ahead than
    the system time.
    I have checked that the getUTCHours() return the same result
    on linux and windows.
    Any Suggestions?
    thx!

  • Appointments are showing off by one hour for Yahoo users

    Ok, I know there have been a few responses to this, but none seem to fit the exact issue I am having, so I'm going to ask again.
    I have two users in particular, one on Outlook 2010 and one on Outlook 2013. They have hosted Exchange, and the Exchange server is 2007. The Exchange host provider is located in the Central Time Zone. Computers for my users are all set to correctly to Eastern
    Time Zone. Windows 7 and 8.1 machines with all updates installed are what the users are using. I also logged into the hosted OWA option and set the time zone to EST there as well.
    When I send an invite from Outlook 2010 user to another Exchange server, meeting time in the email invite BEFORE accepting shows the correct time zone for that user, and stays correct when accepting. When I send an invite to Gmail, again, shows
    correct time before and after accepting. When I send to a Yahoo account, it shows the time one hour behind before accepting - essentially shows the CST time. Once I accept the meeting in Yahoo, it shows the correct time in the Yahoo calendar, but the email
    with the invite still shows the wrong time, one hour earlier. And obviously if the user doesn't accept the invite but just uses it as a guide, they will show up one hour earlier.
    Is this an issue for Yahoo, or Exchange 2007? It might be possible to move my client from Exchange 2007 to 2010 or 2013, but I don't want to do that if it won't fix the problem.

    Should be an issue with the time zone settings on all Outlook clients involved.
    Has Gmail/Yahoo account mentioned here been configured into Outlook clients?
    If you are using Outlook 2010 you need to use a time zone with the correct DST settings for your location. If your location does not observe DST, do not choose a time zone that does then deselect the option to automatically update for daylight saving time.
    You need to use a time zone that does not observe DST.

  • I have an A2300 camera and don't know how to use it. How do you set the time/date.

    I am a novice at this.  I can take pictures, buy can't find them. Does the cd that came with the camera show how to 
    operate the camera. What is the function key for and how do you use it.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tross.

    Hello Tross!
    When you take images, provided that you have a memory card inserted, they are saved direct to the card.  They can be accessed in camera by going into the Playback menu.  There is a CD that has an instruction manual on it that does show you how to use the camera.  If you do not have this, you can download the manual here.
    The Function/ Set button serves two main functions.  One, it displays a small menu where you set the shooting mode and image quality options.  Second, all setting that need to be confirmed are done with the Function/ Set button. 
    Changing the date and time settings
    1. Press the Menu button.
    3. The Tools Menu appears.  Go to Date and Time.
    4. Next, operate the date and time screen:
     Set the year, month, date, and time.
     Change the year, month, and date.
    - Set the daylight saving time (one hour is added to the current time).
    5.  After the settings are completed, press the ) button.
    We hope this helps answer your questions and that you enjoy the camera.  If you need to contact us immediately, please feel free to contact us through the web site.

  • Synching Treo 600 with I Cal alters meeting time by one hour?

    When preforming a synch with I CAL, all meeting times, Flight times etc were moved back one hour! Having now manually corrected the Schedule on the TREO what can I do to prevent this from recurring the next time I synch with Ical? Can I make the Treo Schedule override the now incorrect times on ICAL?

    Hi,
    Time zone issues have always been a pain in the you know what.
    Here is what the guys at Mark/Space gave me a long time ago. Maybe it will work with your situation.
    Ho Boy do I hate those 1 hour off time shift (ST-DT) issues, they are my worst nightmare. Because it is always a case by case solution, never got a single solution to work twice.
    So I will have to give you my check list, so you can go throuth it. The big picture is, making some backups, reset the pram on the Mac. Do the check list, finally do an overwrite of the handheld with the desktop data.
    Here we go.
    Do some backups first by following those simple steps
    1. Go to Address Book, click on 'File' menu and choose 'Back up Address Book'. Go to iCal, click on 'File' menu and choose 'Back up database'.
    2. Go to Missing Sync and double click on the Backup Conduit and set it to backup all databases. Then run the sync with just that Backup conduit selected, disable all other conduits.
    3. Go to: /Users/<user name>/Documents/Palm/Users/<hotsync name>/ now hold the 'ctrl' key and click on the /Backups/ folder. Choose the option to 'Create Archive of "Backups"'. This is to safeguard your backed up data in case anything goes wrong.
    Reset PRAM
    Shut down your computer, as soon as you start your computer press and hold command-option-P-R keys simultaneously until you hear the chime start up sound 3 times. Then let go of the keys.
    Support Reps and Engineers have met over this issue of Time Zones. There are some grey zones that still need to be addressed, either by us, Apple's iCal team or Palm.
    Here is a list of items that you need to verify or correct.
    1) Launch iCal, in the iCal menu go to Preferences, in the toolbar, click "Advanced", make sure that "Turn on time zone support" is unchecked.
    2) On your device, launch you calendar, menu Preferences, uncheck "New events use time zones".
    3) Check for new firmware updates available for your device. http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/
    4) Verify your location and time. (Ex: if your location is not listed in the selections you can add it).
    To add your location, tap location, go to "edit list", in the new window tap "add", you will see a list of Cities, go down the list to "Your Location" and add it to the your list.
    5) On your Mac, in the System Preferences, open the Date & Time pane, check your "Time Zone". Make sure that it is the same as your Treo.
    6) On your device, tap on the TimeCopy application use the drop-down menu to select Option and then Preference, you can modify to "Update" at Local time only.
    7) If you are using third-party Calendar applications (such as DateBK 5, Agendus etc.) consult your user documentation or contact the appropriate technical support representative.
    Go to iCal, click on 'File' menu and choose 'Back up database'. Modify the name of the backup so that it won't overwrite the one you did earlier.
    I suggest that you 'Reset Sync History' using the iSync preferences option. The first sync will likely be slower.
    1) Launch iSync
    2) Click on the iSync menu
    3) Choose Preferences (make sure the "Enable syncing on this computer" is checked)
    4) Click the 'Reset Sync History' button. Read and follow the onscreen directions.
    5) This may launch iCal. Also the status of the reset is showing in the iSync display. When the reset is complete quit both iSync and iCal.
    Launch Missing Sync and enable the Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks conduits and set them to Desktop overwrite Handheld. Disable all other conduits.
    Then sync, when you do, you will get a dialog box with an orange iSync icon on it. Check the box to erase the device, then click the 'Allow' button. It will overwrite your device. You will get one for events, one for tasks, and one for contacts. The next time you sync .mac or other devices that sync with iSync like an iPod, you will get these same dialog boxes for their databases and you should check the box and click 'Allow' in those cases as well.
    Good luck...

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
