The Clocks went forward this weekend and i expected openntpd to change the time for me, but it didnt, its holding it exactly 1 hour out. I changed my timezone in rc.conf to Europe/London instead of GMT but it still doesnt change it (i didnt reboot the machine).
anyone know why its not taking the hour offset into account?

This had been reported by some others, too.
It could be caused by the time servers called. Which servers do you use in your /etc/ntpd.conf?
I kept it on the default servers pool.ntp.org. Time changed orderly here.

Traceroute the following over a few days, choose the fastest one and go from there...
server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org
server 3.uk.pool.ntp.org
Arch Linux + sway
Debian Testing + GNOME/sway
NetBSD 64-bit + Xfce

i tried 0 and 1 from that list but its still holding it 1 hour out. does the system autiomatically look at rc.conf for values? or does it keep them stored? because if it does it will still have GMT as the time zone becasue thats what it was in rc.conf last time it booted.

nope,
echo $TIMEZONE
shows that it is "Europe/London" and using "0.uk.pool.ntp.org"it still adjusts it by fractions of a second instead of an hour.

weird.
I have Europe/Brussels and openntpd set to be.pool.ntp.org.
And it works fine. the hour changed normally.
could it be that with openntpd it works normally and not with the other one?

Since you didn't reboot after editing rc.conf:
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Some/Where /etc/localtime
