So on previous versions of SL 3 and 4, after applying the latest tzdata errata, you need to copy your timezone file to /etc/localtime; for example: cp -p /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver /etc/localtime You can always compare the md5sums on /etc/localtime and your timezone file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ to check if you are really ready for March 11th. cheers, denice -- deatrich @ triumf.ca, Science/Atlas PH: +1 604-222-7665 <*> This moment's fortune cookie: It's sweet to be remembered, but it's often cheaper to be forgotten.
