I think we have some sort of bug here. I have two courier servers. Both
run 0.42. Both run NetBSD 1.6.1. One is PPC, the other x86.
in the rfc822 config.h both get configed to #define USE_TIME_DAYLIGHT 1
However, it would appear that locatime already accounts for daylight
savings time (even the manpage says so) on these systems.
Below is a section of code I copied from rfc822_mkdate.c with slight
modifications to make a test:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
struct tm *p;
int offset;
time_t t;
t = time(NULL);
p=localtime(&t);
offset= -(int)timezone;
/******* Below is the offensive code *******/
if (p->tm_isdst > 0)
offset += 60*60;
/*******************************************/
if (offset % 60)
{
offset=0;
p=gmtime(&t);
}
offset /= 60;
offset = (offset % 60) + offset / 60 * 100;
printf("offset:%+05d\n", offset);
printf("timezone:%d\n", (int)timezone);
return 0;
}
When run this code produces:
[10:25pm]host ~> ./a.out
offset:-0400
timezone:18000
[10:25pm]host ~> date
Sat Jul 19 22:25:43 CDT 2003
[10:25pm]host ~> ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwx------ 1 root wheel 30 Jul 18 14:16 /etc/localtime ->
/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central
As evidenced by the date command and the /etc/localtime symlink the server
has the timezone and date set correctly. It would appear that courier is
for some reason adjusting for daylight savings time when it should not be.
Both servers show this same behavior.
I would appreciate any additional info. For now I shall just remove what I
have labeled the "offensive code" above.
Thanks for Courier! It is great!
