It sounds as though you are mixing -stable and -current together somehow. For one thing, the kernel config files for the two are not compatible. The timezone/dst stuff is one of the changes between -stable and -current. The config(8) utility itself isn't compatible, either, and must be updated before switching from -stable to -current or vice-versa. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
