Current FreeBSD /etc/localtime file has: ----- moosa% hd -n 6 /etc/localtime.current 00000000 54 5a 69 66 00 00 |TZif..| 00000006 ----- The fifth byte is "0".

It definitely does: I patched my 8-amd64-current with edwin's patches, recompiled, reinstalled and copied a new zonefile to /etc/localtime: ----- moosa% LANG=C date; /compat/linux/bin/date Tue Oct 28 22:38:24 MSK 2008 Tue Oct 28 22:38:24 MSK 2008 ----- > > BTW: Please add me in CC, thanks! > > > > Cheers, > > Mezz WBR -- bsam
