Daylight Savings Time -- /etc/localtime and what else?

A month ago I downloaded tzdata2007b.tar.gz, compiled it and installed a new /etc/localtime. All seemed OK.
Now, after the time change, I've had to restart both 'fetchmail' and 'sendmail' to get '/var/log/maillog' in-sync with the new time. Not a problem; apparently these processes use time-data based on their original startup.
But what else needs to be restarted? 'top' (edited) for root shows:
PID STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND
242 select 4:37 0.00% 0.00% syslogd
386 nanslp 3:28 0.00% 0.00% cron
418 select 0:32 0.00% 0.00% inetd
18001 select 0:01 0.00% 0.00% sshd
6985 RUN 0:00 0.00% 0.00% top
6844 pause 0:00 0.00% 0.00% csh
423 ttyin 0:00 0.00% 0.00% getty (x8 Lines)
167 pause 0:00 0.00% 0.00% adjkerntz
224 select 0:00 0.00% 0.00% devd
Maybe 'cron' -- daily & security email is an hour off.
Should I just restart the whole system? (FreeBSD 5.4, i386)
