NTP is not directly related to daylight savings time except for during 
the during the 24-hour interval when transitions in a given time zone 
may occur.  NTP only keeps UTC time correct.

Check the TZ value in /etc/default/init, or /etc/default/login 
TIMEZONE if you want login shells to behave differently than the rest 
of the system.

Do 'echo $TZ' to see the current setting that your shell is using.
