I use 'pool.ntp.org'.
There are geographical ones as well.

gilbreth is gilbreth.ecn.purdue.edu an NTP timeserver available on the
Internet.
All the systems a am referring to are AIX 5.1 or earlier. Strangely some
of the systems do get the time correctly. After taking your hint, I
noticed that those working are on ML5 and those not working are on ML2. I
think (with your clues) I might have found the smoking gun.
Thanks again for your help!

What IS gilbreth? Is it another AIX host, or some other sort of server?
If it's not UNIX that could be the problem, as I believe Windows - for
example - actually changes the system clock, whereas AIX (and other UNIXs,
I believe), assume that the clock is unchanged and just change the way it
is expressed.
I've got several SP2 complexes using NTP and they all worked fine, even
with several different timezones in use. Clients are at various different
levels; servers are AIX 5.1-04/5: bos.net.tcp.client 5.1.0.50/56. Some of
those might have been updated from 04 to 05 after the change to DST.

I know that this is a dead horse - sorry for the question. Up until this weekend, my internal NTP server (referencing gilbreth.ecn.purdue.edu) has worked flawlessly. Starting this weekend after the time-change, it's NTP is now delivering off by 1 hour. No known changes on internalNTPSERVER. When I ntpdate gilbreth, the time sets correctly on internalNTPSERVER. However any internal AIX host that queries against internalNTPSERVER via ntpdate gets pushed off an hour. xntpd has been recycled. I have verified the TZ thing in /etc/environment on the hosts. I'm looking for places to go look. Thanks for your feedback...
