I wish I could just kick myself! Unfortunately...

It is at GMT 0. Oasis works fine. It's NOS writing times 6 hours 
behind. All I can add, is I execute NOS directly, not via Oasis so 
Oasis isn't getting a chance to intefere anyway.

I have a clock displaying on the desktop. It is correct before I run 
NOS. It is 6 hours out after. It does not change during or after Oasis 
runs.

If I don't set up a time server then the clock is always right but the 
times NOS writes are all 6 hours out. Afaicr, if I don't manually edit 
the time in nntp.dat, NOS will add another 6 hours on the next run, 
and so on.

The Demon end runs GMT, I run GMT but when the time server sets the 
time it does a large negative correction. This seems to imply that NOS 
thinks I am not running GMT. The only two "time" lines I have are..

time addserver 158.152.1.76
time auto on

Help!
