DST, redux

[Jason Staudenmayer]

I had to update mine this morning, followed these directions.

Update zoneinfo for linux

Check setting

zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007


if not right continue

mkdir TZ
cd TZ
wget 'ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2007c.tar.gz'
tar -xzvf tzdata2007c.tar.gz
zic -d zoneinfo northamerica
cd zoneinfo
cp --reply=yes -r * /usr/share/zoneinfo/


zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT | grep 2007


ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT /etc/localtime

zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007


Once I made the link the time rolled forward. Hope this helps.
