(This continued to flare up on netbsd-help, but relates to a post on
port-i386...sorry for the cross post.  (^&)

FWIW, I set up the RTC_OFFSET=360 in order to cope with a dual-booting PC.  
I don't remember having to do anything special about dst.  (Can't you also
tweak it manually via a sysctl if you don't want to change the kernel &
reboot?)

As far as I understand, it just adds N minutes to the clock as it's read.  
It don't think that it interferes with DST.

On the other hand, I can't swear to it.  (^&  I'm so used to having my
watch an hour off half of the year that I don't let the higher order
functions of my brain worry about DST on the 'puter.  (My machine is not
very tightly coupled to anything, so it wouldn't notice a 1 hour
variation.)  If it _does_ interfere, maybe I should reboot the machine
again someday and set the BIOS clock back to GMT/UTC/whatever---my machine
no longer dual boots.
