Well, it's just a week away from the change to DST in the US. Now you ask? The answer is no, it only uses UTC. > Will I see authentication failures from patched or unpatched > windows/Linux/solaris machines assuming that someone hasn't manually > tweaked the time? DST, etc. is only for display purposes. All underlying code uses UTC. If something fails to install the patches it really doesn't matter as it only affects what you see for files. You should worry about your syslog being off by an hour as with the Windows eventlog, but failures you won't see because of it.
