I tried this too, and I get the same problem.
So I was poking around sysctls for fun and found this:

kern.osrevision: 199506

I'm just wondering what that is all about? Shouldn't it be like 200203?

Timezone changes

2002-03-27 Thread David Turnbull

I've taken up the local cable TV network (optus, telstra) practice of
using AEST and AEDT instead of just EST in Australia, so I edited
/usr/src/share/zoneinfo/australasia to produce these timezones.

# New South Wales
# Rule  NAMEFROMTO  TYPEIN  ON  AT  SAVE   
LETTER/S

...

RuleAN  1996max -   Mar lastSun 2:00s   0

After installing the new tz file:
su-2.05a# date
Thu Mar 28 13:23:09 AEDT 2002

Fast forward to a date after daylight savings time ends:
su-2.05a# date 200207070707
Sun Jul  7 07:07:00 AEST 2002

Back to normal:
su-2.05a# date 200203281324
Thu Mar 28 13:24:00 AEDT 2002

I'm wondering why this isn't the default behaviour, is it because it'll
break things or what?

updated install files for 4.5-R after security patches?

2002-04-18 Thread David Turnbull

I installed 4.5-RELEASE the other day, and then this zlib security
advisory came out and I got to wondering.. are the install files for
4.5-RELEASE updated after patches are put into RELENG_4_5?
