    Problem Symptoms:
    The server time is incorrect. Even after rebooting the server it is still incorrect.

    Cause:
    The /etc/localtime which should be a symbolic link to ____ was not a symbolic link but, instead, had the wrong local time coded in it.

    Resolution:
    Temporary solution (not requiring reboot of server): use ntpdate command to correct. See Additional Information below for example.

    Permanent solution:
    * If this is an Ex Libris Hosted server, have Cloud Production change /etc/localtime to the proper symbolic link.
    * If a non-hosted, local server, ask the systems staff to do the same.

    19 Nov 11:14:42 ntpdate[10374]: step time server 199.241.31.224 offset -14399.111958 sec
    [root@dc02kg9999 ~]# date
