I don't have that on the printer, it is running chrony.
A quick Google search for "chrony equivalent of ntpq" gives me
<https://karloluiten.nl/chrony-status-command-ntpq-p-alternative/>
which says to use "chronyc sources" or "chronyc tracking".
Thank you Greg, both of those initially return a 506 no daemon. so:
root@mkspi:/etc# chronyc sources
506 Cannot talk to daemon
root@mkspi:/etc# chronyc tracking
506 Cannot talk to daemon

Thats says this machine has it hdware clock on utc.
but date is still on PTC
from mkspi, the printer:
root@mkspi:/etc# date
Mon 04 Dec 2023 07:34:59 AM PST
its 10:35 here, still 3 hours off.
So here on coyote: date -u:
Mon Dec 4 15:47:44 UTC 2023
but on mkspi: date -u:
Mon 04 Dec 2023 03:47:16 PM UTC
chrony has been restarted several times on mkspi, the printer
no errors logged in the tcpdump output.
WTH? Where is that false 12 hour offset coming from?
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
