I am running MCC 1.1 and lately the alarms I have had set up are
miss-firing. I get a mail message of alarms past scheduled time.
Also if you display a show command or any information about an
entity the time and date are 4 days in the future. I thought MCC got
its time from the system clock? I have checked the stations time and
date and a few of the other nodes. I have also restarted the
application a few times, still no time sync. Can anyone tell how to
fix this problem. Thanks Harry

MCC requires DTSS in order to figure out the _correct_ UTC, which it
uses internally. Without DTSS, we use a guess-timate based on the
MCC_TDF logical. The syntax for MCC_TDF logical is significant here.
Since most people do not yet have DTSS on their system, I would guess
that your problem has to do with having your MCC_TDF logical set wrong.
For example, I believe that "-4" is interpreted as -4 DAYS (which is an
impossible TDF), while "-4:00" is interpreted at -4 HOURS. Since MCC
is very time sensitive, a mistake like setting the TDF to -4 days could
cause all sorts of bizzare problems.
