rdate not setting the date

I searched, but didn't see an answer to this. I have always used rdate to
keep my system clock in sync with time.nist.gov NTP time server. When
daylight savings time hit this past weekend, I noticed that the time on my
laptop did not change. I tried to do it manually, with no affect. Is
there a problem with rdate under fedora?
If I run rdate -s time.nist.gov, I get a message displayed:
Alarm clock
but no change to the system time. I have also tried other NTP servers
with the exact same result. I get the same result if I try rdate -p
time.nist.gov (or any other NTP server).
Any suggestions? I miss the assurance of my laptop time being accurate.
