The first thing you should do after installing FACTS is ensure that your
timezone is set correctly. You may already have the TZ env-var set on your
system, in which case FACTS should already show the correct details. If
not, FACTS will (where available) obtain the current timezone from Locale.

On the FACTS GUI, the gadget to the right of "±hrs" should be set to the
whole number of hours you are east of GMT. If you live in
a country with a half-hour offset from GMT, then you must also check the
Settings->Extra Half Hour menu item. Also
ensure that the DST checkbox is set if you are in summertime, and unset
otherwise.

Now go on-line and click "Check" on the GUI. If all goes well, FACTS should
return the correct time in the Server box. If an error message appears,
please consult the list of error messages. If the wrong time
appears, please ensure that the timezone offset and DST checkbox are set
correctly, that the Settings->Service menu is set to "sntp", and that there
are no checkmarks next to any Settings->Compatibility options.

Now save the configuration (Right-Amiga+S) and proceed to
example configuration or Clock Synchronisation
