It should not :-)

This probably means that your timezone (or the NTP server's timezone) is not configured properly.

You could try another NTP server, or check your timezone config.

Check your /etc/TIMEZONE file.

This is almost certainly a problem with the timezone setting on your machine. NTP uses GMT to allow it to work across timezones. My guess is that your system is set for a timezone that uses Daylight Savings time.

What version of Solaris are you running?

Has PKST changed dates in the last few years?

Sun regularly update the timezone files when daylight savings dates change.

ok there is a rule in a file /usr/lib/share/src/asia which says that daylight saving becomes active on first of april and i have checked my XP machine with the same ntp server it works fine so probabaly i wll have to comment the line ..... lets see i can't get hold of the system right now so may be after couple of hours:)

Now, on Linux, you can try the zdump trick :

First, do a date, and check for the timezone name.

Then, dump it's rules (e.g: PKST) :

zdump -v PKST
