I now that the cron jobs are 1 hour off because
I have a cron job that runs at 7:30 am
and send me information around the time I come to work
yesterday and today it ran at 8:30 am.
logwatch does a call to localtime(time) but that comes back
with the correct time when I create my own perl program
I did issue a re-start to the cron.d
Tomorrow, I will now if everything works fine.
I had to add +1 to my hours when using PHP applications to display the time
because it also has problems unless you are using php5
Thanks,
:-)

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.
