So, I adapted the following instructions for Canada to fix DST on 8.2 and 9.x systems on my US systems. https://secure-support.novell.com/KanisaPlatform/Publishing/112/3615274_ f.SAL_Public.html Basically, I did the following: To verify that I had to fix DST: * zdump -v US/Pacific | grep 2007 * Grabbed a copy of tzdata2007a.tar.gz from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub. * Extracted the files from it. * zic northamerica To filter out regions that didn't have tzdata info in older distros. * grep US backward > backward.america * zic backward.america To check that it worked: * zdump -v US/Pacific | grep 2007 To relink localtime setting: * zic -l US/Pacific Since I did my testing in VMware, I reset the date to 1:59:55 on 3/11 to watch that it rolled over to 3 am. Also reset it to 1:59:55 on 4/1 to see that it rolled over to 2 am. Anyway, it seemed to work as far as the OS seemed concerned. Hope this helps. -p ~~~~~~~ Pat Hirayama IT / Server Operations Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
