4 ntp service (such as openntpd or regular ntp itself) doesn't lookup at the
5 time printed on the desktop ! They work in utc time, furnishing a stable base
6 of time. It's the os' job to convert it in local time (and winter/summer
7 time).

11 hour of London (because it work in timestamp, which is a way to print utc) !
