	Hello,

	My VAX runs OpenVMS 7.3 and I uave configured NTP client some
	months ago.

	Today, I have seen that clock was not synchronized. SHOW TIME
	returns a difference greater than 4 hours between OVMS client and
	NetBSD server.

	I have restarted NTP.

$ type TCPIP$NTP_RUN.LOG
29 Oct 08:57:13  ntpd version = 4.1.0
29 Oct 08:57:14  precision = 10000 usec
29 Oct 08:57:16  drift file 'SYS$SPECIFIC:[TCPIP$NTP]TCPIP$NTP.DRIFT' does not e
xist: no such file or directory
29 Oct 08:57:17  will attempt to create drift file
29 Oct 09:01:41  time correction of 3607 seconds exceeds sanity limit (1000); se
$ show time
  29-OCT-2024 14:15:21

	On server side :
hilbert:[~] > date
mar. 29 oct. 2024 14:15:34 CET

	I have checked timezone with @SYS$MANAGER:UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM and, for
	me, configuration correspond to Europe/Paris time.

	Server use UTC. For me, client use UTC also and only SHOW TIME does
	time conversion from UTC to local time. I suppose I have done a
	mistake somewhere, but where ?

	Regards,

	JB
