Your assertion that this is the "easiest way" is quite debatable. The easiest way, I would think, is to let your operating system handle the transition. Most modern operating systems do so quite nicely. I cannot recall the last time I had to take any action to affect a transition to or from DST. (I just set my hardware clocks to GMT and let the operating system (kernel and/or userland) convert as necessary to produce local time.) Mucking with your system clock, especially moving time backwards, can cause all kinds of problems. In slapd(8), I would expect problems in replication subsystems and possibly BDB. Simply don't unnecessarily muck with your system clock, and if you have to muck for some reason, be careful. - Kurt >This apparently causes slapd (2.3.17 at the moment) to become >unhappy upon restart.
