[opensuse] Daylight Savings Change
Hello all, We are running Suse 9.3 Enterprise at work that have no updates. Do I need to patch the machines so that they are aware of the change in daylight savings in the United States?

Yes. And you should perhaps also patch to fix the security holes. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What is "Suse 9.3 Enterprise"? Is it SLES 9 Service pack 3, or is it SuSE 9.3 Professional?

For SLES 9 SP3, there was an update to glibc published a long while ago that included the changes to the timezones. In general, you should update all the released patches -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There is no such thing as suse enterprise 9.3. You might be running suse enterprise 9, or perhaps you're running suse 9.3 professional. There have been gigabytes of updates for sles 9 and suse pro 9.3. To check whether your timezone config is up to date, run the following command, and if your output shows the old dates rather than March 11/Nov 4, you'll need the current timzeone package, which IIRC depends on the current glibc package. lucy: /home/jjs (tty/dev/pts/4): bash: 1004 > zdump -v PST8PDT | grep 2007 PST8PDT Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800 PST8PDT Sun Mar 11 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200 PST8PDT Sun Nov 4 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200 PST8PDT Sun Nov 4 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Where do I get the current updates? I haven't seen anything in the YaST update list about this.
