Setting /etc/default/rcS is the proper thing to do. See the man page for details of it. man rcS If this option is set to no then the system clock is assumed to be set to local time. But then you must have the system timezone set correctly. Please double check. What is the timezone reported by 'date -R'? $ cat /etc/timezone Europe/Copenhagen $ md5sum /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Copenhagen /etc/localtime 8efc72daacd8884fa3c64cedf19cd8ee /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Copenhagen 8efc72daacd8884fa3c64cedf19cd8ee /etc/localtime Those should match. If they don't then your system time is actually configured to a different timezone. You can run tzconfig directly to reconfigure your timezone information. $ sudo tzconfig Or you could reconfigure the tzdata package. This will run the package configuration script, which will call tzconfig $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata Additionally the NTP daemons may need to be restarted too. They should only be trying to set the system time and the system time is already in UTC and so should not be an issue. But let's not forget them. Or your problem might be something different than anything I have suggested. But you are doing the right thing by starting at rcS. Bob
