It seems quite likely that your Apple machines are getting UTC data from the NTP server, but using a local (i.e. on-the-machine) tz database for the timezone adjustment.  I have the impression that Apple does not publish tzdata updates to user machines by the usual Software Update mechanism.  You may need to install the latest version of tzdata, on every machine, yourself.

Subject: [tz] Timezones in Jordan
Importance: High

 

Can you explain the current situation with regards to timezone data for Jordan.

 

I work in the Australian Embassy in amman Jordan and am having a lot of issues with setting the correct time.

 

On our computers when we use a  NTP source such as:

server 0.pool.ntp.org 120.88.46.10
server 1.pool.ntp.org
server 2.pool.ntp.org
server 3.pool.ntp.org
It sets the clock 1 hour ahead of the correct time so I have to set them all manually which is not good. 
I have had a look at TZDATA2013i and it had the time as UTC +2 which should give us the correct time.
Any Advise would be great.
