The caveat with the kernel timezone is that Linux distributions may
ignore to set the kernel timezone, and instead only set the system
time. Even if a particular distribution does set the timezone at boot,
it is usually does not keep the kernel timezone offset - which is what
changes on DST - up to date. ntpd will not touch the kernel timezone,
so running it will not resolve the issue. As such, one may encounter a
timezone that is always +0000, or one that is wrong half of the time of
the year. As such, using --kerneltz is highly discouraged.
Thanks for taking the time to give a detailed reply. Just to make sure I
understand correctly - would this mean that there is no reliable way to
run time based iptables rules and have them keep up with DST changes
correctly and automatically - without restarting the machine when the
DST kicks in or out?
