From what I recall (off the top of my head no less) is that the time change in the fall occurs at 3am [ECMP]DT and jumps back to 2am [ECMP]ST. In the spring, at 2am it jumps to 3am. 1:59am will reliably occur once every day of the year. At least that is how it is done in the US. -gordon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
