This seems really silly, but Daylight Saving time is ended, and I can't work out how to get my computer to notice.
I thought it would have just known, as has happened in the past, but it's still concienciously showing MDT time rather than MST. I tried to use Yast to correct this, and the only thing on offer to me are other major timezones, nothing for Daylight saving.
It might be part of the puzzle, though I don't quite see how, that I run an ntp client (because my laptop's clock is dreadfully inaccurate--I suspect a failing CMOS support battery or something).
Running an ntp client can not be the cause of the problem, since it automatically corrects for the change. Are you *sure* you're running one? Or is your internet connection somehow not what it should be?

Hmm, apparently I wasn't running it. There was no hole in the firewall (option > is hidden behind "advanced options" that I'd not looked at.)
So, maybe I am now...
Many thanks for the pointer, Simon
NTP clients have been discussed before on the list. A simple approach that has been used by some list members, is to turn your firewall off, immediately configure your NTP client, and turn your firewall back on. HTH, Mike
