CMOS clock is set to UTC. The output of "date" did not switched to standard local time. Is it a predefined feature? Shall I expect automatic switching only with cmos clock set to local time?

hi, there!

Here in Moscow, Russia, I expected the system clock back to standard time during the night of Oct 29, exactly as European tradition suggests.

This did not happened by itself (the output of "date" was 1 hour ahead of new local time at noon of Oct 29.). Had to run ntpdate by hand to bring it 1 hour back.

Is it a correct behavior?

System clock here is configured to be kept as GMT and at the moment it shows up as a correct local time with "date", e.g.:

Tue Oct 31 01:16:53 MSK 2000

I have a similar problem both in Russian (MSK) and Ukraine (EET), will be good to correct it before 4.2-RELEASE.

do you have CMOS clock set to UTC on both machines? we do not have this problem on a bunch of machines (from 3.5-STABLE to 5.0-CURRENT) with CMOS clock set to local time
