Turns out this is a multi-step process in Linux involving creating a text file with new time zone rules, running it against 'zic' ( as in -- zic newRules.tx ), then soft linking the output file to /etc/localtime. See this link: http://avi.alkalay.net/linux/docs/TimePrecision/TimePrecision.html#tz.linux about which the author was kind enough to respond, and see 'man zic' for more basic info and some additional examples. --> David
