[ILUG] re:daylight savings time

[Dave van-standen]

Nick elliott asked : Does anybody out there know how to configure a Red Hat
machine so that it automatically adjusts for daylight savings time?
 
Nick i'm guessing you are having the same problem i had that the 
clock is a hour fast and if you reset with timetool to the correct time 
i.e. daylight saving time the clock changes back to one hour fast 
when you reboot ?

if so this is how i sorted it launch timeconfig  from command line 
or in a xterm and set the time zone to dublin
and uncheck hardware clock set to gmt
 and them reset the time with timetool .

it seem's the gmt setting is pure gmt with no account of daylight saving .
