FC4 glibc didn't have /usr/sbin/tzdata-update (it was only introduced in FC5+ and later backported to RHEL4 and RHEL3). So, after you update tzdata package, if the changes are in your default timezone, you need to return system-config-date or manually update /etc/localtime. Jakub Why can't you run yum update tzdata or use up2date??? BTW, you are saying FC5 machines do not need to do anything? The new DST is already in place? I have 2 Fedora releases in the field. FC3 and FC5. I also have several hundred legacy 7.2 redhat machines out there with no internet connection. Any ideas on how to fix them? Thanks
