DST: Same procedure as every half-year?

Hello list,

it happened again (in Germany, anyway). As of Sunday, we're back on winter time (CET). Except my computer ain't. And every half-year I forget just what I did to set the clock right. I've got the timezone set right (Europe/Berlin CET) but the clock lags. Is there some accepted standard and automatic way of honoring DST? Even Windows gets this right. I'm using ntpd to sync my clock. Ntp itself works right -- every now and then I have to erase my buggy BIOS settings, which resets the hardware clock to the Nineties, but when Linux comes up the clock is always correct (except that little DST issue of course).

Thanks,
--D.
