My Fedora 4 box was also patched but is now an hour behind. Updated the time

ntp0.cs.mu.oz.au
ntp.ise.canberra.edu.au
ntp1.cs.mu.oz.au
time was set back an hour again, disabling ntpd for now. Possible the time
servers are out?
/bin/cp -a /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/NSW /etc/localtime

It appears that a bunch of the pre-distributed timezone patch files that
came from various places are incorrect for some reason. For example,
Microsoft distributed a special "commonwealth games" patch that doesn't
appear to have fixed the problem on MS systems, so they are all an hour
out as well. So in addition to making the above copy or its equivalent
on whatever system you are running on, make sure that you have an actual
real correct zoneinfo file, verify this using:
zdump -v Australia/NSW|grep 2006
Rumour has it that various Solaris zoneinfo patches aren't correct either.
(No doubt there will be some gnashing and wailing in the press about
this once people begin to care about it this week).
