setting the:
* bios clock to utc
* setting the hwclock to utc
* selecting the correct time zone eg in my case Brisbane
once the above are set updating time using ntpdate works correctly everytime
with DST (daylight saving time)
Each distribution of linux have weird and wonderful ways of setting the above settings,
On slackware I edited the /etc/hardwareclock file and added UTC and
the timezone is a link from ./etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Brisbane
Though I would expect that other distributions have tools to do this
hope that helps

isn't on summer time.
i'm using the perl script tv_grab_au (we'll talk abut my troubles with the
python one another day) and I'm hoping that someone can point me quickly to
the right answer.
my spouse suggested altering the computer clock, but it runs ntpdate so that
solution will only last to 0500hrs
