You can get around this by setting the date according to UTC, one minute before the expected changeover: date -s "Sat Oct 25 21:59:00 UTC 2014" -u

On FreeBSD (and therefore likely on JunOS as well) that command would be 'date -u 201410252159.00'. It appears that the tzcode version of the date command (which bears a Berkeley copyright notice) does not support a -s flag either. -GAWollman
