Of course you should never need to change the clock on a Unix system, apart
from small adjustments required to keep the clock in sync (generally handled
automatically for you via NTP, etc.).  Unix systems require no clock changes
to deal with daylight savings, or even being moved from one time zone to
another, since the clock always operates in UTC, with time zones being
simply a presentation issue handled by the C runtime library.
