All cron jobs are running an hour late. I took the perl code
from the logwatch where the time is displayed and run it

Also my web pages using php date are displaying an hour
less or pre DST time.

Possibly the cron daemon doesn't read /etc/localtime except when it is
started, so it still uses the old DST definition. I'll have to try
that myself on system "delta".
It bothers me somewhat that I can't find the what configures logrotate
to do the "cron" logs.
