Check that you have your timezones set correctly. Unix systems track time in
UTC or Greenwich Mean Time*, that internal date is then converted to local
time using the timezone you set. During that conversion process DST
adjustment happens, too. All that ntp does is make sure that your system
time in UTC is correct. If your conversion to local time is incorrect, ntp
can do nothing about it. Similarly, the hardware clock is also set to UTC.
Your problem, especially considering you run ntp, seems to be a
UTC-to-local-time conversion issue rather than an incorrectly adjusted UTC
clock.
