We'll return to nick@zeta.org.au and All's
discussion of Daylight Savings System Clock

 ni> Look for another solution. Local time is calculated on-the-fly
 ni> according to the rules in the active timezone file (or your environment
 ni> variable TZ) and "nothing happens" at the time of transition.

I also reccomend that if your system runs Linux exclusively, run the
CMOS clock on UTC and let the kernel take care of all necessary
translations.  I've had no hitches using this method. :-)
