If you, like me, are in the part of the world that changed to daylight saving time overnight last night (Europe, at least; US and Canada are next week), and your computer didn't make the change automatically, here's one possible explanation and fix.

Check the permission on /etc/localtime -- it should be -rw-r--r--. Due to a bug in the Redhat time-configuration applet, it may instead be -rw------, in which case the time zone rules can't take effect in any account other than root.

To resolve this, do "chmod a+r /etc/localtime" as root, and you should get the correct timezone. The bugzilla report on this problem is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109803, and it looks like it's fixed in future versions.

Obviously, this problem is especially easy to miss during the winter in the UK. :)

Another issue might be that you are running a twin O.S. computer with Windows.
I have to start Windows then re-boot and time is fine...
Any other way to have summer time set properly in a computer like this??
