Time changed back to old daylight savings

[Don O'Neil]

I don't have the port tree installed, so you are correct that I did not
update them first... I installed JUST the zoneinfo port, which according to:

http://www.freebsd.org/releng/dst_info.html

"the misc/zoneinfo port can be installed to update the /usr/share/zoneinfo
files, followed by running tzsetup(8) to update /etc/localtime"

So why wouldn't installing this port fix the problem like advertised? I
shouldn't even have the problem to begin with... When the time change
happened a few weeks ago my system updated correctly, but since then I've
built a new kernel (the only thing I've done) and now it's not right.

You didn't update your ports tree before installing the port, I'll bet.
That was an essential part of the advice that Kevin Kinsey gave you.
