So let me see if I get this right: # ls -l /etc/localtime -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1017 May 5 2006 /etc/localtime # rpm -qf /etc/localtime glibc-2.3.4-2.19 The system also has tzdata-2007c So /etc/localtime hasn't been touched in a long time, but tzdata has been updated recently. That means, all daemons that haven't been restarted since /etc/localtime has been updated, need a restart. Right? By the way, the system passes the empirical US DST '07 test (there's a 1 hour difference between the two outputs - if they were identical that would be a problem): # date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2006" Sat Mar 25 07:00:00 PST 2006 # date --date="Mar 25 15:00:00 UTC 2007" Sun Mar 25 08:00:00 PDT 2007 -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
