[ale] Daylight Savings Time

Can someone tell me how Linux adjusts for daylight savings time?  I'm
finding a few of my boxes an hour behind.  Their TZ is EDT and all
of them run NTPD.  So NTP is syncing to the old time.  I stop NTPD and
run nptdate to get the correct time.

Does the system wait for a reboot to adjust?  What happens at midnight
on the Sat before a change?  Does the box go to 01:01 the minute the
clock strikes 12:01?
