Hi All, Daylight Saving starts this weekend in NSW, VIC and ACT. Machines running FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE or later should have the correct timezone files already, but earlier OS versions might need to be updated. How to test for the correct file -------------------------------- Enter the following command :- zdump -v Australia/Melbourne | fgrep 2000 The last line should be Australia/Melbourne Sat Aug 26 16:00:00 2000 UTC = Sun Aug 27 03:00:00 2000 EST isdst=1 gmtoff=39600 How to update your system ------------------------- I have put the correct versions of Sydney and Melbourne TZ info onto the ClariNET Internet Solutions web site, so that residents of NSW, ACT and VIC can update their systems. 1. Become root 2. cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia 3. enter the following commands fetch http://www.clari.net.au/times/Melbourne fetch http://www.clari.net.au/times/Sydney You should check that /etc/localtime is a symlink to the appropriate zone file. Cheers, Danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
