>Description:
the data in /usr/src/share/zoneinfo is out of date.

in particular, Pakistan has recinded DST.

but a diff between the current FreeBSD data and that located at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ indicates numerous other changes.

it might be an idea to have someone check those files periodically, so that the current timezone info is relevant.


>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
update /usr/src/share/zoneinfo with data from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/
