As i understand it, DST is beginning early this year, specifically
this sunday. Am i right that Xenix will get it wrong, and also
that if i compensate by changing the clock, i'll have to do so again
in a month? -j

This was beaten to death in comp.std.unix (or something like that) last
year. It's a problem in UNIX in general, and AT&T/Sun may fix it if they
feel like it. I got disgusted and kept all my machines on standard time
last year.
You can just fiddle the TZ value, all internal times are in GMT (UCT),
so it's only the way they're printed. I use "EST5" for TZ, but you can
use "EDT4" or whatever. You can change this in /etc/default/login.
