That may be :)

What exactly makes you say that the central timezone doesn't deal with
DST? If you mean "US/Central" I will have to disagree with you. :) It
works fine here.
kepler:~ $ cat /etc/timezone
US/Central
kepler:~ $ date
Tue Jun 16 13:27:25 CDT 1998
kepler:~ $ date --utc
Tue Jun 16 18:27:29 UTC 1998
kepler:~ $ ps awx | grep xntp
279 ? S 0:01 /usr/sbin/xntpd
Where's the problem? I'm confused.
