I couldn't find any FreeBSD-specific information about this change so I decided to submit this as a PR. The timezone change will take place on the 30th of December 2007 at 00:00, moving the clock forward to 01:00 and it will return to normal on the 16th of March 2007 at 00:00. That means from December 30th to March 16th we will be at GMT-2 and then back to GMT-3. The official bulletin is available at http://www.boletinoficial.gov.ar/bora.portal/PrimeraSecci%C3%B3n/tabid/53/Default.aspx The specific law for the time change is 26.350. Unfortunately the change was very abrupt with very little notice given and since it's already in effect there's probably a high number of affected systems in the wild right now. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
