It looks like this problem has been solved. I just wanted to point out some time resources. Charles has conveniently located these /usr/share/zoneinfo files at http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/files/kernels/zoneinfo/. There is also a tz.lrp package. This site may will help you pick US zones http://www.time.gov/. I found these links illuminating http://www.time.gov/exhibits.html. If you have Windows clients that you want to sync to your firewall, you can use http://www.oneguycoding.com/automachron/ in your systray. External time server lists can be found at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.htm http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1.htm http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm I just fixed my date this weekend. I used just a file out of /usr/share/zoneinfo( I had access to a Linux box). Arizona doesn't do daylight saving time. So I copied MTS7MDT to /etc/localtime. This technique saves some space especially for floppy users.
