How does Linux handle DST/ST? It's all about time...

You can mess around with DST and such but this slightly sleazy hack
might serve an alternative: find some way to get your "dumb" machine to
tell your "smart" machine what time it thinks it is currently, and then
force the smart machine to that time.  For example, if SSH works from
the smart machine to the dumb one then from the smart one you might say:

 % x="$(ssh dumb date)"
 % sudo date --set="$x"

...or some variation on that theme.

  --M
