[Opensim-users] Idea about "Daylight Saving Time rules"...

[Olivier van Helden]

NTP can be used (and is intended) to maintain your system clock accurate, whatever the time zone or DST settings are.
I mean it's purpose is not to set the daylight saving time, nor the time zone, just to fix differences of time that may (that do) appear when several systems use their own internal clock whiteout synchronising.

I can't imagine any use case where you would want just one of your processes to use accurate time while keeping your system inaccurate (e.a with a random delta from a couple of seconds to a couple of minutes).

If you need to have an accurate clock, it must be set on system-level with NTP.

If you need to choose the DST settings, you can set it at system-level (for earlier OpenSim versions), or choose a specific one for OpenSim (current master branch, git cccef2e) with DSTZone settings. It defaults now to Pacific Standard Time (which is the same as SLTime).
