The way I have been doing this is to set up TIMEZONE and SUMMERTIME and
then set the clock on the NTP MASTER and it reflects the time for my
timezone and I assume that routers in different timezones will offset
their timezone accordingly. I am guessing that an NTP client who synced
up with my MASTER, and it had no TIMEZONE specified would wind up
offsetting my time as if they were on GMT.
Is it considered correct to setup TIMEZONE and SUMMERTIME and then set
the clock, thereby avoiding calculating the offset from GMT or wheather
its DLT or not?
