ntp service (such as openntpd or regular ntp itself) doesn't lookup at the 
time printed on the desktop ! They work in utc time, furnishing a stable base 
of time. It's the os' job to convert it in local time (and winter/summer 
time).

For example, a openntpd launched in a chinese computer (and we know certainly 
that chinese computers have really different times than ours !) would have the 
hour of London (because it work in timestamp, which is a way to print utc) !
