Interesting, pbx ~ # tail -1 /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago CST6CDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0 Has this string always been in the zoneinfo data file? I recall looking several years ago and not finding a simple solution to the dual time offset settings. It is still good to be able to override any automatic setting, so the politician's whims won't necessarily require a firmware upgrade.
