I THOUGHT I had taken care of this, now I'm not so sure.  I downloaded
and installed the lastest tzdata RPM.  `zdump -v' on the appropriate
/usr/share/zoneinfo file showed the correct information.  I copied the
zoneinfo file (/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York) to /etc/localtime and
thought that should fix everything.  I've just been trying the command:

	zdump -v localtime

and I'm not getting the correct information.  I first tried this in the /etc
directory thinking it would get the local file and I got:

localtime  Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 UTC = Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901 localtime isdst=0 gmtoff=0
localtime  Sat Dec 14 20:45:52 1901 UTC = Sat Dec 14 20:45:52 1901 localtime isdst=0 gmtoff=0
localtime  Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 localtime isdst=0 gmtoff=0
localtime  Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 localtime isdst=0 gmtoff=0

     I then tried:

	zdump -v ./localtime

same as above.  I then tried:

	zdump -v /etc/localtime

and that gave me what I was looking for.  Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I can not find anything in the manuals that would even hint at what I'm seeing.
Am I worrying about nothing here?  Thanks for any help.
