I read a few days back on the list where the tzdata rpm was to take
care of the new DST rules. I run CentOS 3 servers, and did a 'yum
update tzdata' , but received a 2006a update of the rpm.
Is this proper? It sure didn't fix anything.
Thanks

You can use the "zdump" to verify the DST rules. Substitute the right
timezone in the command below:
$ /usr/sbin/zdump -v "US/Pacific" -c 2006,2008
US/Pacific Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 UTC = Fri Dec 13 12:45:52 1901 PST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
US/Pacific Sat Dec 14 20:45:52 1901 UTC = Sat Dec 14 12:45:52 1901 PST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
US/Pacific Sun Apr 2 09:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Apr 2 01:59:59 2006 PST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
US/Pacific Sun Apr 2 10:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Apr 2 03:00:00 2006 PDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
US/Pacific Sun Oct 29 08:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Oct 29 01:59:59 2006 PDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
US/Pacific Sun Oct 29 09:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Oct 29 01:00:00 2006 PST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
US/Pacific Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 PST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800

You can see DST takes effect on March 11 this year, so the rules are
updated. This output was from a CentOS 4 system, but I'd imagine the
results should be the same on CentOS 3.
