You need to overwrite your old /etc/localtime file by performing the following command: This is a Central Time example. cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime Then run your zdump and it should report back the proper info. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sites, Brad Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 11:43 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: DST patch for RedHat Linux This doesn't appear to work for me. I have downloaded the file tzdata2007c.tar.gz, decompressed it. Ran "zic northamerica", then ran timeconfig to make sure I was set to the correct time zone. But, running "zdump -v CST6DST |grep 2007" gives me this: > zdump -v CST6DST |grep 2007 CST6DST Sun Apr 1 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sat Mar 31 23:59:59 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600 CST6DST Sun Apr 1 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Apr 1 01:00:00 2007 DST isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 CST6DST Sun Oct 28 04:59:59 2007 UTC = Sat Oct 27 23:59:59 2007 DST isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 CST6DST Sun Oct 28 05:00:00 2007 UTC = Sat Oct 27 23:00:00 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600 The CST6DST file under /usr/share/zoneinfo has a date of today, so I'm assuming that was updated, but not sure how to get it to update /etc/localtime. -Brad -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Young, Mike Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 11:20 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: DST patch for RedHat Linux I decompressed the file and ran: "zic northamerica" The new timezone files were automagically put under /usr/share/zoneinfo, and I was able to run "timeconfig" to update /etc/localtime. Side-note: if you're running 64-bit RHEL, you will probably need to update the glibc RPM's as well... If you "zdump -v /etc/localtime" and get a segmentation fault, you'll need them.

I have some older Red Hat builds (circa 7.x), and I cannot find any glibc patches with the newer time zone information. On other *nix flavors they are flat files, and can be edited with vi, but with Red Hat they are binary. > >A: (inode0) Get the current zone files from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub.. Use zic to compile them, cp or link the appropriate one to /etc/localtime, and perhaps run timeconfig or whatever is available on your system. Well, we're on RHEL 3 & 4, but I assume what's at NIH will work. Not having done this before, do I just dump the code and the data into a directory, and run zic on it, or...? The zic man page isn't real clear on this. mark -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
