by the date command is still one hour behind. I just did a clean 9.1 =
install from cdrom and selected the correct time zone for my location.

The DST change worked fine for me...!

I'm curious what it prints if you run the command:

find /usr/share/zoneinfo -type f -print | xargs md5 | grep `md5 -q =
/etc/localtime`

It used to be that /etc/localtime was, by convention if
nothing else, a symlink so you could easily see what it pointed
to, but not anymore... the above is the easiest way I can think
of to figure out what time zone your system is *really* set to.

Yes, it should have happened automatically. There's no special
setting you have to enable. It should have "just worked". So
my suspicion is that your /etc/localtime isn't pointing to
what you think it's pointing to...
