Besides that on 5.2 aix server worry if your libc version is lower than stated.
We are now patching a lot of servers -----Original Message----- From: David Longo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 9:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Clock Change I think this was something that popped up in AIX 4.3.3 somewhere around Maint Level 9 - 10 or so.

More than just ITSM can become loused up. In a nutshell, type echo $TZ and if there are two trailing commas, worry!

Following are updates for one or more of the topics you requested. System clock may become incorrect during daylight savings time changes. IBM recommends you take immediate action. Customers running AIX 4.3 or AIX 5.1 need to read ITEM 1. Customers running AIX 5.2 need to read both ITEM 1 and ITEM 2. The information in this bulletin is not available for viewing via the web. If this information is important to you, please retain this email. ITEM 1 IBM released fixes in 2002 for AIX 4.3, AIX 5.1, and AIX 5.2 but some customers may not have applied the fixes. We recommend you verify all your AIX systems have the fix applied. Without the fix applied, the daylight savings time change may not occur properly which could cause time sensitive applications to malfunction. Run lslpp -L bos.rte.date and compare the output with the following list. The fileset should be at or above the level in this list. AIX 4.3.3 bos.rte.date 4.3.3.77 AIX 5.1 bos.rte.date 5.1.0.26 AIX 5.2 bos.rte.date 5.2.0.1 The fixes are available for immediate downloading at the AIX Fix Delivery Center located at https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/aix.fdc IMPORTANT The fix corrects the programs that created the error but does not fix the variable setting itself. After applying the fix you must take the following actions. Action 1 Reset the time zone variable TZ if "echo $TZ" output includes one or more commas. To reset the variable, run smitty chtz. Action 2 If you reset the time zone variable because it included one or more commas, then either refresh the cron daemon and restart all applications that read the time zone environment variable -or- reboot the system. Reference information: 4.3 APAR IY34798 SMITTY CHTZ APPENDING 2 COMMAS AFTER TZ 5.1 APAR IY34203 SMITTY CHTZ APPENDING 2 COMMAS AFTER TZ 5.2 APAR IY35629 SMITTY CHTZ APPENDING 2 COMMAS AFTER TZ ITEM 2 IBM relased a fix in March 2003 for AIX 5.2 but some customers may not have applied the fix. We recommend you verify all your AIX systems have the fix applied. Without the fix applied, systems that use daylight savings time offsets may not properly change time at the correct time. This could cause time sensitive applications to malfunction. An offset in DST is not widely used. You do not need to apply the fix if you do not use a DST offset. Run lslpp -L bos.rte.libc and compare the output with the following list. The fileset should be at or above the level in this list. AIX 5.2 bos.rte.libc 5.2.0.10 The fixes are available for immediate downloading at the AIX Fix Delivery Center located at https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/aix.fdc IMPORTANT After applying the fix you must take the following action. Action 1 Restart all applications -or- reboot the system.
