Did we just hit the "old" time change? 1

[thedaver]

Here in the US, the government implemented a plan to have the spring and fall time changes (standard vs daylight savings) moved a couple of weeks away. We implemented that first for the springtime change.

I woke to find my mail server reporting the wrong time today, "back by an hour", which is consistent with "spring foward, fall back".

This machine is a well maintined Fedora Core 3 install. I have to assume to no new timezone file was available which explains why the old timezone change has hit.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Here in the UK what we laughingly refer to as 'British Summertime' officially ended yeasterday and the clocks adjusted accordingly.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

Ahhhhh, much better.
The package manager had updated the 'tzdata' package over the year into /usr/share/zoneinfo...

However, I wasn't thinking about it until now... I never copied the correct file from zoneinfo/America/ to /etc/localtime

Did that and the correction was made. HTH someone else.
