Thanks for the reply. Found my problem. Typo in my zdump query. Should be CST6CDT, not CST6DST. So, compiling and running timeconfig seems to do it without doing the copy. Thanks.

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 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
