All our Solaris boxes at work updated fine, after installing the
appropriate patches and rebooting.

The Solaris 2.6 an earlier systems needed the tzdata downloaded from elsie,
with zic run against them.

My Mac at home didn't update properly - stupid Apple didn't even attempt
to make a patch in spite of a few security updates last few months.

I had to download the tzdata from elsie and run zic - but although
UNIX date command shows the correct time, the stupid desktop clock
still runs like Daylight Saving time has already ended.

I use a local timeserver for my Mac, but it makes no difference.
Even Microsoft addressed this problem except I think you have to
update the tz again after next week....

I am so annoyed at the whole Daylight Saving thing in any case.
It is a pointless exercise and it doesn't save anything and just
causes chaos for people like myself with carefully fine tuned circadian
rhythms ;)
