Why is there a time-gap of 2 hours between default user-account and administrator account

There is a real problem Linux solves/prevents with its way!

  • For comunicating round the world there is allover the same system-time (UTC). A timestamp created on any linux-system is valid and shows the right time on any other linux-system. And this without knowing the timezone of the sender :sunglasses: This is not only usefull for servers.
  • The second problem may hit you when your timezone has daylight saving time offsets. Twice in a year the time “jumps” by 60 Minutes back/forth. This does affect programs that work through that night, or that calcualte time-offsets. (UTC does not jump)
