This isn't an issue is most countries. This isn't an issue in linux system in Isreal now (maybe in the next years, if people go back to insanity). Thus there are no "ready-made solutions" for it. But it is not such a big task either. I vaugly recall someone from Brazil describing how they handled this problem, which is probably more accute there. It depends on what "solution" you use for managing all of your worstations. Basically what you need here is to sync /etc/localtime . On windows you need to update some registry values on all the computers. TIMTOWTDI Alternatively, you can test the compiled timezone file to see if it needs updating: zdump -v /etc/localtime |grep 2003 zdump /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Jerusalem |grep 2003 This will check if the latest updated is indeed good enough for you. As for the approach of some admins of not updating the timezones at workstations and "patch" the time servers instead: I sure hope they realise how many things this breaks. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
