They are talking about any of the UNIXy ones.
Long story short: If your system is set to UTC/GMT, and you fail to
patch, anything that is converting a local to gmtime is going to get a
wrong value for the affected times (three weeks in the spring, and one
in the fall).
The Sybase was just one specific example of what would happen.

'Kay. Thanks ... I guess.
Now I've been reading here that FC5 and later are already patched. True
statement or myth?
Also, if myth, is there a yum incantation for this?
Previously in this thread, someone mentioned a command that would show
you if your system is already set to the new dates or not. I ran it on
my FC4, and it is good to go. (I haven't done any yum updates for
several months though. (Ever since FC4 became legacy or somesuch.))
