Solaris 9 Time is wrong
I have a solaris 9 server that seems to think its in the CST time zone but its giving me time -6 hours off.
an example would be if the CDE display says its 10:30 AM Jan 10 2007 then the date command in a terminal window will say its 04:30. on Jan 10 2007
I have used the date command to force it to change to the right time but after a few minutes it just switches back to being -6 hours off.
I have tried setting it using the date command and ntpdate and neither one seems to work. I thought my time zone was set wrong but it comes up as CST

Need more details.
#1 CST isn't a unique time zone. I assume you're talking about the Central time zone in the US, though, correct?
#2 Run these commands and show the output:
echo $TZ
date
date -u
TZ=US/Central date
/usr/sbin/ntpq -p

Have you looked through the root crontab to see if there's anything running periodically that would attempt to reset the time?

The commands above will verify the the timezone configuration.
