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
OK, these are the times/dates that Standard Time / Daylight Savings Time are set to start/end in 2007 for the Central time zone in the US. These numbers indicate that your system is not patched ... It is still following the old rules. In other words, Sun Apr 1 1:59:59 will be followed by Sun Apr 1 3:00:00. Once your system has been corrected, you should get the following output: US/Central Sun Mar 11 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600 US/Central Sun Mar 11 08:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 US/Central Sun Nov 4 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 US/Central Sun Nov 4 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600 Thanks, -p -- Pat Hirayama IT / Server Operations Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center phirayam@fhcrc.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
