Seems like a good tip, JO. My workstation, FC5 which I yum-update regularly still has not set the correct tzdata -- the above command yields 4 lines, 2 each at Apr 1 and Oct 28. I guess it should be Mar 11 and Nov 11(?). Ahh, waitaminute, my /etc/localtime is a file last changed in August 2006. Whereas the tzdata package has a correctly updated PST8DST file in /usr/share/zoneinfo. Rether than fixing it manually, I go into System > Administration > Date & Time (aka: system-config-date), and make the little mousey point to LA. Click ok. It resets localtime fine. Out of curiosity, I go back to what I had before (Tijuana) -- that makes it wrong, again .. Ohhhh. So I reset to LA, even though that's a hundred miles further away. Oh, well. Hmmm, is it true that SD and TJ will be an hour different for a few weeks this spring and fall? That should cause some confusion.
