The BIOS uses UTC and, yes, I took that into account when setting the
daily boot time. Normally it boots right on time, but sporadically it
boots right after it shut down at night. There doesn't seem to be a
pattern to it, other than perhaps SMB activity within ten to fifteen
minutes before shutdown.
BTW, I'd better not forget to adjust the boot time as soon as we start
using DST. But that'd be in another couple of years, I guess.
