Time changed back to old daylight savings

[Don O'Neil]

Yup... thats what I get:
 
%zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 09:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 PST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 10:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 PDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 08:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:59:59 2007 PDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 09:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:00:00 2007 PST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800

So it looks like my zone info files are correct... could the ntp pool be off
for some reason, or does ntpdate need to be updated?
 
28 Mar 10:53:51 ntpdate[90706]: ntpdate 4.2.0-a Mon Aug  7 17:44:27 UTC 2006

To see if you zonefile is correct you can do the following:


%zdump -v /etc/localtime  | grep 2007

/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
/etc/localtime  Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:59:59 2007 EDT
isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
/etc/localtime  Sun Nov  4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:00:00 2007 EST
isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000

Not to be a smartass,  but the energy conservation act was passed in
2005,   so one would think an 8 month old snapshot would include a
fix that has been known about for 2 years ;)
