My guess is you had old version of tzdata package, that was updated to current version sometime in the past. Now, if you look which package owns /etc/localtime and /usr/share/zoneinfo stuff, you get: # rpm -qf /etc/localtime glibc-2.3.4-2.13 # rpm -qf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern tzdata-2005m-1.EL4 As far as I can see, tzdata package has no pre/postinstall scripts associated with it. That would mean /etc/localtime doesn't get updated when tzdata is updated. Unless I missed something, it's probably a bug in tzdata RPM package. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
