I THOUGHT I had taken care of this, now I'm not so sure. I downloaded
and installed the lastest tzdata RPM. `zdump -v' on the appropriate
/usr/share/zoneinfo file showed the correct information. I copied the
zoneinfo file (/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York) to /etc/localtime and
thought that should fix everything. I've just been trying the command:
zdump -v localtime
and I'm not getting the correct information. I first tried this in the /etc
directory thinking it would get the local file and I got:
localtime Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 UTC = Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 localtime
isdst=0 gmtoff=0
localtime Sat Dec 14 20:45:52 1901 UTC = Sat Dec 14 20:45:52 1901 localtime
isdst=0 gmtoff=0
localtime Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 localtime
isdst=0 gmtoff=0
localtime Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 localtime
isdst=0 gmtoff=0
I then tried:
zdump -v ./localtime
same as above. I then tried:
zdump -v /etc/localtime
and that gave me what I was looking for. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I can not find anything in the manuals that would even hint at what I'm seeing.
Am I worrying about nothing here? Thanks for any help.
