ntpdate vs telnet on 13

[John Sellens]

| Why is it that
| 	telnet sundial.columbia.edu 13
| shows the proper time (given the new daylight saving rules)

It tells you the time at that remote location.

| whereas
| 	ntpdate -q sundial.columbia.edu
| doesn't know about the new rules?

It gets the universal time over the network, and applies your local
timezone.

| Is there some sort of timezone file on this Fedora Core 3 system I need
| to modify?

/etc/localtime is usually a copy of a file in /usr/share/zoneinfo.
