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??
Windoze resets the _system_ time for the daylight savings time changes. This will be seen by booting to bios and checking the time there. Check while on the standard time, then again when on daylight time. I have 2 boxes side by side, one windoze and one FC1. The time is reset differently.
*nix boxes adjust the offset for the DST changes and do not reset system time. Dual boot systems often see the problems you describe. This is a different way of handling the daylight savings time changes. To me the *nix way is better. Although both work, on dual boot systems one or the other OS will have time problems.
If your system cannot read the localtime link as the OP said, then the effect you describe would be anticipated ----- you are using windoze to change the system time and not getting an effective use out of the localtime offset parameters from *nix.
If I remember what happened, on a dual boot system (in my case Windows ME and Fedora Core) the *nix system didn't change the time, I had to reboot in Windows, summer time was adjusted, and then reboot the *nix system, and then both timezone and time were correct: i do not mind about this strange even if I am compelled to boot Window twice a year ;-)
