So, I adapted the following instructions for Canada to fix DST on 8.2 and 9.x systems on my US systems.

Basically, I did the following:
To verify that I had to fix DST: * zdump -v US/Pacific | grep 2007
What's all that stuff mean after one does the above command (mine I did with US/Central)? How do I know if I have to fix DST in my 9.3 system? Here's the result of the above command:
US/Central Sun Apr 1 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Apr 1 01:59:59 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600 US/Central Sun Apr 1 08:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Apr 1 03:00:00 2007 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 US/Central Sun Oct 28 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 01:59:59 2007 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 US/Central Sun Oct 28 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Oct 28 01:00:00 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600
I was wondering what it all meant also. I don't think you have the patch. I assume the first two are start dates and next two end dates. Not sure why there is a couple minutes difference in the times. I also use the NTP service so I assume it will automatically correct the time. Here's mine: US/Pacific Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800 US/Pacific Sun Mar 11 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200 US/Pacific Sun Nov 4 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200 US/Pacific Sun Nov 4 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800 And I know DST starts in March this year and goes past Halloween.I am on OpenSUSE 10.2 -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
