M4-035-6 has the wrong time:

fionavar% telnet m4-035-6 daytime ; date

This is most likely due to an incorrect setting for the timezone; my guess
is that it doesn't know that it should be on daylight savings time.  To
verify this, check /etc/environment on the workstation; there should be a
line in it that says

TZ=EST5EDT

If it instead says

TZ=EST5

that is the cause of the problem; to fix it, edit the line so that does
indeed have the "EDT" at the end.
