The quick answer is Don't.
Unix stores all timestamps as a fixed offset from a fixed time regardless of
timezone.
All timezone mods are automatically applied when setting and retrieving
system time.
It may look complicated, but that's only because you expect it to be.
Moving the set time back will mean that you will have the same underlying
timestamps
on files created 1hr apart.
Don't try to fight the system - it works.

Hi Unix admins =20
we want to discard the automatic day light saving time .So we manually =
enter the correct date.
How can we do this?
