I’ve had constant problems with keeping time on the server up and running. So much so, that I installed a Network Time Protocol (NTP) service to ping the NRC’s time server on every reboot.

With the US shifting Daylight Savings Time (DST) a month back, I had to do some futzing around with the server to sync it up.

Today I realised that my localtime file was pointing at the wrong timezone.

I guess, 2 years ago I set the localtime to the wrong timezone.

A quick look at the symbolic link determined that I was pointing to the wrong file. Rather than using “Canada > Eastern” I was using “EST”.

A quick delete and new symbolic link and everything was fixed.
