Isn't there some other way to update the zone info files to fix this? -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Chen [mailto:jonc@chen.org.nz] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:03 AM To: Don O'Neil Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Time changed back to old daylight savings On Wed, Mar 28, 2007 at 12:45:11AM -0700, Don O'Neil wrote: > I'm not sure when this happened, but I noticed today that my server > reverted back to the old daylight savings time (1 hour off)....

On my 6-STABLE machine it's: MD5 (/usr/src/share/zoneinfo/northamerica) = 3e582e371f445a18b065eed8f775fb20 Any other result means that your should re-cvsup, and rebuild your system again. If it is the same, make sure your zoneinfo files have been rebuilt (check the file timestamps). Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen Once is dumb luck. Twice is coincidence.
