Re: what is the origin of postgreSQL time

If I use select current_timestamp AT TIME ZONE 'EEST' I get good time
(EEST - I'm in Lithuania). But how do I make postgreSQL use system time
by default? The thing is we have 8 servers working and none of them is
affected by this issue. Only one refuses to switch to summer time.
