    The main problem is that time settings are more complicated than it looks.

    Many countries do not have fixed time switch times. They use a dice each year and you need to update some database over and over to keep track of that.

    MorphOS´ SetClockNTP just uses countries with predicable switch times.

    The most important thing is to setup the time zone settings in locale correctly or it will fail.

    Second the network-user-startup is exactly designed for this, so just remove the colon in there and you have proper time settings as far as it goes with the limitations mentioned above.

    About the servers used. There are some servers build in, so SetClockNTP will switch when some network (each of these servers is usually redirected to a random time server), so you don´t need to change the server at all. The server has nothing to do with the DST or the location. Result will always be the same date time.
