Hi, I just read through this entire thread and I have a couple of questions. = I have several FreeBSD 5.4 systems. I did the date -r commands as = suggested on one of these systems and it doesn't appear to switch over = to daylight savings time on Sunday March 11 at 2 AM.=20 I looked in /usr/ports/misc but there isn't a zoneinfo port (on this = system). I searched a bit and found this: radius# find / -name zoneinfo -print /usr/share/zoneinfo /usr/compat/linux/usr/share/zoneinfo radius# find / -name tzsetup -print /usr/sbin/tzsetup Here's my question. tzsetup seems to already be on this system. I have = not used it before, so am unfamiliar with it. Can I just run that now = and make whatever changes are necessary to fix this system so that it = recognises daylight savings changes? Or am I going to have to download = some updated zone files first? In this thread, someone suggested doing = the following: cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo fetch ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2007a.tar.gz tar -zxvf tzdata2007a.tar.gz make make install cp -f /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime chmod 444 /etc/localtime I have attempted that, but when I unzip/untar tzdata2007b.tar.gz (there = isn't an "a" file there anymore, just the "b" one), I get several files = but there is no target for the make command. Are there any special considerations any of you might be aware of = depending on what function my freebsd servers are serving? One does = radius authentication using Free Radius, another is our web server = (Apache2) and primary DNS (Bind 9), a third is a mail server (Sendmail). I'm sorry - I'm just kinda confused as to how I ought to handle this = issue. Thanks, Lisa Casey
