Daylight Savings time

Hi,

I suspect my FreeBSD 5.2 system isn't going to handle the change to Daylight Savings Time correctly next weekend:

zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2008
/etc/localtime  Sun Apr  6 06:59:59 2008 UTC = Sun Apr  6 01:59:59 2008 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
/etc/localtime  Sun Apr  6 07:00:00 2008 UTC = Sun Apr  6 03:00:00 2008 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
/etc/localtime  Sun Oct 26 05:59:59 2008 UTC = Sun Oct 26 01:59:59 2008 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
/etc/localtime  Sun Oct 26 06:00:00 2008 UTC = Sun Oct 26 01:00:00 2008 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000

Could someone help me remember the steps I need to take to correct this?

Thanks,

Lisa Casey
