[SunHELP] Cron running one hour too early?

[Maarten Deen]

Hi,

I've got a crontab running at 0:01 which requires my sun to dial out. 
The crontab is executing at 23:01, which is obviously one hour too 
early. First I thought it had something to do with DST, but I 
remembered that some time ago I switched the timezone from MET 
to WET (which sets the time one hour later). This seems match with 
the messages in the dialer log (which runs on a different machine).

I've changed the timezone by editing /etc/default/init. After that, the 
time displayes correctly, but apparantly the machine does not use 
the time correctly. Is this normal? Do I really have to reboot to make 
the system use the correct time?

I'm running Solaris 7, I believe no patches have been installed (don't 
know how to check without rebooting)
