Ah, yes, I thought there might be more to this than meets the eye! Given
what you've said, I do mean local UK time.
Setting this will vary depending on your distribution,
but in Debian
(and by extension, I assume Ubuntu) by running "dpkg-reconfigure
tzdata".
My naivety shining through there - forgot about the choice of distros. I
am using Debian so have given that a go and it seems to have worked
nicely.
The time-keeping issues that some people have with
VM guests are
entirely independent of this configuration. Your VM will keep the
same drift from the host's clock that it always had.
Thanks for that. I'll be using ntpd (with an one-off trigger of ntpdate on
boot), and have xen.independent_wallclock set to 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf, so
presumably I'll be okay in that respect?
Thanks again Hugo,
Mathew
