Hi:

This morning we found all our machines running Digital Unix version 3.2c
revision 148 exhibiting incorrect behaviour with the timezone changes.

quark[incoming/dec] date
Mon Oct 28 10:54:03 EDT 1996
quark[incoming/dec] uname -a
OSF1 quark V3.2 148 alpha

The timezone is still showing EDT and the time is an hour ahead of the
actual time. What is more puzzling is the same command /sbin/date seems
to give different outputs depending on where it is called from.

# hostname
quark
# /sbin/date
Mon Oct 28 10:59:32 EDT 1996
# rsh quark /sbin/date
Mon Oct 28 09:59:38 EST 1996

This is observed on all 20 of our machines and is not sporadic. Please
e-mail me directly what could be causing this and any fixes for it. I
will summarize for the list as soon as possible.
