We have three NeXTs networked, all have Time Standard set on Automatic (NetMgr), all enabled as Clones for Time Service. On Sunday, the network server showed the correct PST time, while the other two--one of which is a clone server--still showed PDT. After fooling around with NetMgr and NetInfoMgr and whatall flat files, I finally noticed that the Preferences were set as US/Pacific on the server and US/Pacific-New on the other two. Once they were changed to US/Pacific, they showed PST. I don't know what US/Pacific-New or PPET is, but I'm avoiding it henceforth. -- Eric Minch Any resemblance to the opinions of persons Epistemic Artisan or organizations other than myself--living, Stanford Genetics dead, or imaginary--is purely fortuitous.
