+ </para>
+ </question>
+ <answer>
+ <para>
+ No, so long as the machines internal clock (as reported
+ by "date -u") remains at UTC. The only visible change
+ if you fail to upgrade your OS, if you are in a affected
+ area, will be that log messages will be a hour out during
+ the period where the old rules do not match the new rules.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ For most OS's this change just means that you need to
+ update the conversion rules from UTC to local time.
+ Normally this involves updating a file in /etc (which
+ sets the default timezone for the machine) and possibly
+ a directory which has all the conversion rules for the
+ world (e.g. /usr/share/zoneinfo). When updating the OS
+ do not forget to update any chroot areas as well.
+ See your OS's documetation for more details.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The local timezone conversion rules can also be done on
+ a individual basis by setting the TZ envirionment variable
+ appropriately. See your OS's documentation for more
+ details.
