Hello list,

it happened again (in Germany, anyway). As of Sunday, we're back
on winter time (CET). Except my computer ain't. And every
half-year I forget just what I did to set the clock right. I've
got the timezone set right (Europe/Berlin CET) but the clock
lags. Is there some accepted standard and automatic way of
honoring DST? Even Windows gets this right. I'm using ntpd to
sync my clock. Ntp itself works right -- every now and then I
have to erase my buggy BIOS settings, which resets the hardware
clock to the Nineties, but when Linux comes up the clock is
always correct (except that little DST issue of course).

Automatic clock adjustment has always worked for me.

What branch are you using? Etch? Sarge?

What version of tzdata do you have?
