I am in the MDT timezone (UTC -600). When I run the date command it shows the UTC time but shows MDT as the timezone, so the timezone looks correct but the time is actually 6 hours ahead of what it should be. I have copied the correct timezone to /etc/localtime and have updated the correct timezone in /etc/timezone

I am trying to figure out why the timezone (MDT) but the time is reflecting the UTC time.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.

Here is the information from my system:

date command output:

Mon Sep 13 17:52:06 MDT 2021

ls -lh /etc/localtime output:`

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Sep 13 17:40 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Boise

timedatectl output:

           Local time: Mon 2021-09-13 11:53:49 MDT
           Universal time: Mon 2021-09-13 17:53:49 UTC
                 RTC time: Mon 2021-09-13 17:53:49
                Time zone: America/Boise (MDT, -0600)
System clock synchronized: yes
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

/etc/timezone contents:

America/Boise

I have tried running chronyd -Q to sync the time, etc but I am still showing UTC time with a MDT timezone.

If anyone has any ideas how I can get this to reflect the accurate time and timezone I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for taking the time to look.
