There have been timezone fixes floating about for over a year.

Yes, time did change. And just at the right moment - when DST ended.
Maybe you should tell us in which time zone you are and which error you are seeing.
Woops! I seem to have forgotten the most important part. I'm in Pacific time. Pacific time is still PDT my computer changed last Sunday. Just checked my time zone. Tijuana! No wonder. Sorry about that. Yuck!
UMMM GANG, FOR THE US AND THOSE WHO FOLLOW IT....
November 4th, 0600 GMT (or 2 am East Coast) Clocks go back minus one hour. NOT LAST WEEK, this coming Sunday. If you have to, set your NTP to sync with a know source like nist.time.gov or your ISP may be running a time server as well...
MOST programs have had the patches already put into place, thou there are possible system that may not even know of such a thing.... (TRS-80's) ha ha
Later!

You should update tzdata. The current version is tzdata-2007h-1. Then you can check if the time change is correctly set up by running this command:
/usr/sbin/zdump -v CST6CDT | grep 2007
The output will be similar to:
CST6CDT Sun Mar 11 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600 CST6CDT Sun Mar 11 08:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 CST6CDT Sun Nov 4 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 CDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000 CST6CDT Sun Nov 4 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600
Hope this helps,

Actually, I live in San Felipe, B.C. Mexico. When I installed CentOS recently, I didn't think about the Congress critters stupid change to the standard/daylight scheme. Since Mexico follows the U.S., this requires a major change in Mexico's law. Oh well...
Sorry about the tequila! :-)

A nice Anejo would have been great! Oh well, thanks anyway. :-(

The best 'fix' is to use GMT on all production devices. Now that they've made one DST change, they're sure to make more. Talk to someone in .au, for example, they monkey with DST there regularly.
