ntp (and the like) use UTC, which does not "Spring Forward" or "Fall Back", |

as |

everything that really cares about accurate time should. |

You probably need to make sure your TIMEZONE in /etc/conf.d/clock and/or |
| 14 |
or /etc/localtime are set properly. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Generally, you DON'T want to set them to CST (or similar) since that |
| 17 |
doesn't |
| 18 |
sf/fb either (instead most of the area covered by CST switches to CDT), |
| 19 |
although some like CST6CDT might work. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Instead you'll want to use (Type/)Region/(SubRegion/)City for a city that |
| 22 |
uses |
| 23 |
the same timezone rules as you. E.g. America/Chicago, |
| 24 |
America/Kentucky/Monticello, posix/US/Central, or |
| 25 |
right/America/Indiana/Knox |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
(All the timezones supported by your libc are under /usr/share/zoneinfo.) |
