A time server gives accurate time....its not there for you but the
underlying OSes and for servers...your desktop should do that
compensation...

time = ntp.

Windows syncs against AD if there is one...the AD should sync against
a NTP server, either on site or one of the 4 in NZ, if you dont run
your own.

Just rebooted due to the installation of new software totally
unrelated to WorldClock WC is now showing the correct DST. Why now?
I'll probably never know. But it is and that's good enough for me.

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions.

time != ntp. There are multiple different Internet time protocols,
although ntp is the one that is used mostly now. "time" protocol is
port 37. "ntp" protocol is port 123. "daytime" protocol is port 13.
There could well be another one or two I do not know about.

No, 'time' is NOT equal to 'NTP'. The Windows time protocol as used
within an AD domain is different to NTP and while Windows AD will sync
to an NTP server there are issues. The Windows time protocol is
technically SNTP - simple NTP. It has a tolerance of above 20seconds!

Also Windows does not directly support NTP. Windows 2000 Server will not
sync with a Windows time server despite what you may read. I spent ages
(several months) trying to get the freaking Windows time service to play
nicely with NTP and it just won't. Final solution was to let Windows
2000 server synch with its known Windows time servers (it has an inbuilt
list of them which can be changed if you really have to). And let
Linux servers sync with NTP servers from the pool.

With Windows 2000 server NTP was not supported. With Windows 2003 server
NTP was only partially supported and had to be configured with the
registry editor :

Maybe AD in Windows 2008 server supports it. It would be about time.
(Pun not intended).

Maybe Worldclock (like NTP does) only gradually skews the time on a
running system little by little until it matches - that way log
entries are always in the correct order with realistic gaps between
them etc. And maybe Worldclock also thinks that a reboot is a safe
time to jump forwards one hour - after all that is just like leaving
the computer off for an hour as far as the OS was concerned.

I dunno - just a possible explanation.

Yes, but GMT=UTC
