 |

Hiya!
OK, I'm not 100% sure this is the correct place to post this question, so I'll apologize up front if this is the wrong fourm 
I'm in New Zealand, and the government here has started daylight savings time 3 weeks early this year (which, personally, I'm thrilled with). The problem is, though, that with NZ being on the edge of the date line, we are now a full 24 hours ahead of a few places (check the current times in Auckland and Apia on www.timeanddate.com to see what I'm talking about) and my ntpd client seems a bit confused!
For some reason, setting the clock via ntpdate is not recognizing the new time (even syncing with nz.pool.ntp.org), and I cannot simply say I'm in a timezone that is an hour ahead of where I am for the next three weeks because, well, there isn't one!
Any idea how I can fix this, or at least make a workaround for the next three weeks? If I have to remember the time is wrong for the next three weeks, I'm more than likely going to miss an appointment or two... 
Cheers!

As a kiwi I have no problems (this is correct):
| Code: | # ntpdate nz.pool.ntp.org
30 Sep 17:15:55 ntpdate[5995]: step time server 218.185.224.6 offset 0.587058 sec |

what version is your sys-libs/timezone-data ?
| Code: | | equery l sys-libs/timezone-data |
You should be on 2007f. I am, and my time switch over this morning fine. |

Hmmm....
| Code: | # ntpdate nz.pool.ntp.org
1 Oct 07:25:08 ntpdate[20107]: adjust time server 203.109.252.7 offset 0.002673 sec
|
Which is wrong by one hour at the time I'm typing this. Also, I have
| Code: | $ equery l sys-libs/timezone-data
[ Searching for package 'timezone-data' in 'sys-libs' among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [M ] sys-libs/timezone-data-2006p (0)
|
which does sound a bit old. I'll try updating ntp and the library and see if that does it...
Cheers!
EDIT:
Did:
| Code: | $ emerge ntp timezone-data
|
And still getting the wrong timezone. And timezone-data is now 2007g...
EDIT number 2:
Sorry, restarted computer, that seems to have kicked-in the update
