You might consider the following: (credit to http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm) 1. Pull the current tzdata file from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ 2. Expand the tzdata2007a.tar.gz file into a directory 3. Run "zic" against each time zone file of interest, such as: zic northamerica zic africa zic australasia zic europe .. zic pacificnew 4. Steps 1-3 will update the Olson database at /usr/share/zoneinfo 5. Don't forget to update /etc/localtime with the correct *new* zone info file. Perhaps the best way to do this is the "setup" command in RH8 and select the correct time zone again. If not, then make a copy of the appropriate TZ file. For me, I did: cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime I believe the above will make your old RH systems up-to-date at the OS level for the new time zone change. No guarantees and criticism welcome :) David Schaub ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
