You should also check your timezone configuration. If the slave is set
to a generic zone (+/- ** GMT) it might not know about daylight
saving. You should find your defined timezone in /etc/timezone. You can
also have a simlink /etc/localtime to the right zone information in
/usr/share/zoneinfo/. There you find a directory structure by
continent/country/city.
