It has the steps needed to update manually from source.
Here's the steps
If you can't use the ports to update your time zone files here is  
the manual procedure.

1. create a new directory and cd into it
   e.g. # mkdir myzoneinfo; cd myzoneinfo
2. # fetch ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2007b.tar.gz
3. # tar -zxvf tzdata2007b.tar.gz
4. you will now have a bunch of files in the directory extracted  
from tzdata2007b.

   you need to edit zone.tab and comment out these lines
#AX +6006+01957 Europe/Mariehamn
#GG +4927-00232 Europe/Guernsey
#IM +5409-00428 Europe/Isle_of_Man
#JE +4912-00207 Europe/Jersey
#ME +4226+01916 Europe/Podgorica
#RS +4450+02030 Europe/Belgrade
#TL -0833+12535 Asia/Dili
5. run this command
   # zic -d ./zoneinfo -p America/Los_Angeles -m 0644 -y ./ 
yearistype \

   africa antarctica asia australasia etcetera europe \
   factory northamerica southamerica systemv
   that's all one long line
   the zic command will create a new directory named zoneinfo and
   fill it with the new zoneinfo files.  You can compare it to
   /usr/share/zoneinfo
6. install the new files by running
   # cp -R -p ./zoneinfo/ /usr/share/zoneinfo
   # cp ./zone.tab /usr/share/zoneinfo
   # tzsetup
7. to verify that all went well run
   # zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007
   your should get
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59  
2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00  
2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:59:59  
2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:00:00  
2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
I've done this on 1/2 dozen older 4.x and 5.x servers and it works  
fine.


Just a heads up, that file is now tzdata2007c.tar.gz, created on  
Feb 26th. At least I couldn't grab tzdata2007b.tar.gz anymore.


Thanks for cathing and posting that Dave.  It is indeed supposed to  
be tzdata2007c.tar.gz

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.

You can simply take the /etc/localtime file from one of the completed 
servers, copy it to the server that is failing, and put it into /etc, 
overwriting the original.
