My system at home is running 6.2-RELEASE:

 > zdump -v /etc/localtime | more

(...)

/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 31 06:59:59 1918 UTC = Sun Mar 31 01:59:59  
1918 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 31 07:00:00 1918 UTC = Sun Mar 31 03:00:00  
1918 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
/etc/localtime  Sun Oct 27 05:59:59 1918 UTC = Sun Oct 27 01:59:59  
1918 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
/etc/localtime  Sun Oct 27 06:00:00 1918 UTC = Sun Oct 27 01:00:00  
1918 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000

Same if I look at /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDT.

I looked in the files for the zoneinfo port, same deal.

What am I missing?
