Look in the man page for smb.conf under "time offset". It allows you to
tell Samba to give any time (relative to local time) that you want. To
ignore DST you would probably have to change this twice a year though (I'd
suggest having a cron job alter smb.conf and restart Samba on the
apropriate dates, that way it won't mess you up in the future. Someone else
may have a more elegant solution though).
