Time Issue

So I fitted my RTC and it seems like it’s holding the time after shutdown. NetTime runs and sets the clock but it’s always ahead 8 hours. Could this be a territory issue? I have it set for PST in Time and Date and syncing the clock again will set the time correctly.

I think I found something. It’s in the territory module. I think I need to do a *Configure TimeZone -08:00 does this look right?

*status now shows it’s set. Must have been unset when the clock was set to manual. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Always remember that NTP is UTC¹ and there is a system adjustment for timezone.

¹ UTC is extremely close to, but precisely, GMT. Mostly because the world isn’t as accurately regular as our measuring system.

I have set the offset in Time and Date to -8 but is there anything else that could cause it to set to UTC initially? When I go back to Time and Date after the machine is fully booted and sync the clock again it’s set correctly.
