Does FreeBSD update the RTC for Daylight Saving? I only ask because
my machine was booted to FreeBSD when the clocks changed and the
next day FreeBSD was showing the correct time. When I rebooted
the RTC was showing the correct time as well.
FWIW, both W95 & NT also both showed the correct time (probably
because the RTC was correct & both Winblows had "Automatically
adjust for DST" *unchecked*) although 95 correctly thinks the TZ
is GMT, Daylight Saving but NT thinks it is just GMT.
