ntp is network time protocol.  It keeps UTC in sync not daylight savings
which is offset from UTC.

ntpd will only reset the clock by a few microseconds.  you start this
with ntpdate <server> which will force the update then ntpd will keep
this on track.  You might want this in oyur boot sequence like ubuntu
does.
