[SNIPPED]
If your Linux machine has the correct time-zone configuration, i.e.,
/usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime /usr/lib/zoneinfo/posixtime,
/usr/lib/zoneinfo/posixrules...
Simply execute:
# rdate time-a.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov
This will set your Linux time from NIST. Then execute:
# clock -w
This will set your CMOS clock.
Under ms-dos put the following in either your autoexec.bat or config.sys
file:
SET TZ=EST5EDT
| |________ Eastern daylight time offset from GMT
|____________ Base time-zone.
This presumes Eastern Standard time. Your mileage may vary.
You will never have a time-zone problem again. I don't think it's fair
to call this a (Daylight Savings bug).
Cheers,
