It was necessary for me to run tzsetup again to reset /etc/localtime when I did a similar adjustment for the change to daylight savings rules during the Commonwealth Games here in Australia. Alternatively you could copy the appropriate zone file as follows cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne /etc/localtime after applying the new datafile (this is the sequence I used last december) # cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo # tar zxf tzdata2005r.tar.gz # make # make install # cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Melbourne /etc/localtime --------------------------------------------------------------- The information transmitted in this e-mail is for the exclusive use of the intended addressee and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
