rdate not setting the date

I searched, but didn't see an answer to this.  I have always used rdate to 
keep my system clock in sync with time.nist.gov NTP time server.  When 
daylight savings time hit this past weekend, I noticed that the time on my 
laptop did not change.  I tried to do it manually, with no affect.  Is 
there a problem with rdate under fedora?   

If I run rdate -s time.nist.gov, I get a message displayed:

Alarm clock

but no change to the system time.  I have also tried other NTP servers 
with the exact same result.  I get the same result if I try rdate -p 
time.nist.gov (or any other NTP server).  

Any suggestions?  I miss the assurance of my laptop time being accurate.
