Hello,

In a E250 running Solaris 5.8, I have tried ntpdate, and it yields 1 
hour from the local time, i.e.:
# date
Wed Apr 12 10:49:55 WEST 2006
# ntpdate 134.214.100.6
12 Apr 09:49:41 ntpdate[3938]: step time server 134.214.100.6 offset 
-3625.543291 sec
The correct time should be 10:49:41

set yields:
TZ=WET

In another E250 running Solaris 5.6, ntpdate shows correct time. set 
yields:
TZ=MET

As I live in Sweden, I presume TZ should be set to WET. Am I wrong ? 
Should I change TZ to MET ? Where do I change TZ ?

Regards,

Marek
