Hello!

We got a new task at the University. I thought I managed to solve it, but I bumped into a timezone problem (probably).

The task was to get the exact time, then adding a new user, then finding all the files that has changes since asking for the exact time in Linux.

I used date ’+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S’ to find out the exact time. -> I got something like 2020-11-07 10:00.00 (CET)
Then I used sudo adduser name
Finally I typed find . -type f -newermt "11/07/2020 10:00:00" -> it returned nothing
If i wrote find . -type f -newermt "11/07/2020 9:00:00" instead of that, it did return some stuff.

Does anybody know what's wrong here?

Many thanks for the replies in advance!

wonder if that has to do with clocks going back one hour ?
