Re: Time change this weekend

Just saying that a slide of time using NTP (vs. a snap with the time zone
settings) is possible - I've done it before, took a lot of messing around to
get it to work. Wouldn't recommend it, aside from all the fiddling with
settings - mainly because if you have a transaction that happens during that
hour, what time did it REALLY occur?

You can make the system clock "crawl" or "race" if you use NTP client and
set NTP to have a larger "adjust time" than 60 minutes and use a time

that doesn't have an automatic DST change (and ensure your time source
changes). By default I believe it's 20 minutes +/-, so this won't work
without some manual intervention. Otherwise the system just snaps to the
new hour and continues on its way.

NTP always uses UTC, so i can't see how this should have any effect on
DST changes.
