Daylight savings time.....

[Ralph Crongeyer]

After I installed ntpd I couldn't get the time to update (this was yesterday 
during D.S.T.). I found that I had to stop ntpd and then run ntpdate [server 
name or ip] and the date was updated. ntpd was setup to run at boot. When I 
rebooted the time was set back to 1hr behind again (It didn't set the 
hardware clock). So I tried rdate and the command below which worked. So I 
put the command in the bootmisc file. Is this wrong to do, in your opinion??
