Daylight savings

[dep]

quoth Kevin O'Gorman:
| I've got an old RedHat 7.3 that works well for me, but I've
| always had a bit of trouble about the daylight savings stuff.
|
| The machine is set to PDT, but does not adjust automatically,
| so when daylight savings is off, things get weird.  I cannot
| figure out how to get it set properly.  Any clues?

sure. set it to gmt, which does not undergo daylight savings time. (you 
would, of course, have it on gmt in the hardware clock under this 
theory.) you can then let the software adjust to a.) your local time 
and b.) daylight saving time by making the appropriate offsets. (as, 
for instance, my machine, which is gmt at the bios level but which 
displays current local time on the desktop.)
