As some of us know, the US rules for Daylight Time have changed this year 2007. For a concise explanation direct from the source, you can look at < http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/daylight_time.html >
The code for dealing with time zones can be found at < ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ > This again is the real thing, since it comes from Arthur Olson, who developed the Unix code for handling time zones while he was at UCSD, about 3 decades ago. You probably don't need any of this if your system has been kept up to date. To see that your system is (or is not) ready, you can execute the following shell command: $ $(locate bin/zdump) -v US/Pacific | grep 2007 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 I found that both my FC3 and FC6 systems gave these answers, which are correct for the new rules. carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
