Check_Time plugin and BST

[Chris Losch]

I'm having a problem with the Check_Time plugin,
 
I am using the checkcommand to check our primary internal time server, which
synchronises itself with an Internet Time source, server for skew,
using the following.
--snip--
command_line         $USER1$/check_time -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 10 -c 30 -W 2 -C
5
--end snip--
 
Ignoring the warn and critical levels I have set, the skew is reported as ~
3600 second time difference (1 hour)
 
The Redhat 7.3 Linux box I am running nagios on is currently on BST (British
Summer Time = GMT +1 for our Internation users) at the moment, and requires
that I put its time back an hour (to GMT) so that the time falls within the
specified period to give an 'ok' response.
 
Presumably once we here go back to GMT this will then work 'as it says on
the tin' but surely either I am missing something here? Is everyone else
somehow fudging this to get an 'OK' response ? Is there something I need to
do on the Linux box? 
 
I have the Questions, does anyone have the answers.... ?
 
(check_time is version 1.1.1.1)
