Setting Day Light Savings

[Bryan]

The solution belows appears to have addressed the problem.

When I updated the timezone using system-config-date, I got 
"America/Tijuana" (not the currently set "America/Vancouver"), although these 
should be the same -- We call them both "PST".  

Anyway, when I then forced an NTP sync, the time was corrected.

No doubt, these details are very hard to keep track of (or even know about).


Thank you very much!!!

Bryan
