You can use the "zdump" to verify the DST rules. Substitute the right

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.
On a side note, but kind of on-topic, I want to set my box to live in a
different timezone. In my case, I actually
want the box to live in GMT +0000, how would I go about doing that? I
have this sneaky suspicion it's a sneaky
little file somewhere, but I haven't been able to locate it.
