Sorry for the extra info required, but I had digest mode turned on and wouldn't have received the mailing till tomorrow. I have since updated the data manually, but after 'yum update tzdata' was run, the zdump -v for EST5EDT and America/New_York all still showed a date of April 1, instead of March 11. After manually fixing, it is correct. This was mostly a question about why yum provided a tzdata that was for a 2006a rpm instead of the 2006g or later when I did the yum. Thanks Steve Campbell campbell at cnpapers.com Charleston Newspapers

Why that wasn't released as a normal update from upstream is beyond my knowledge. Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Ralph, Of course not - I didn't get the fasttrack rpm. Sorry for the noise.

On CentOS 3.x boxes I have: # rpm -q tzdata tzdata-2006a-2.EL3.1 And: zdump -v EST5EDT |grep 2007 EST5EDT Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 EST5EDT Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 EST5EDT Sun Nov 4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 EST5EDT Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 As an odd coincidence, exactly a year ago today I extracted these settings from a Centos 4 box and the US change was already there. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

This occurred even after updating from Tao to CentOS. So, where is this fasttrack stuff, as I don't see it anywhere in my conf files. I also don't seem to be able to enable anything in the yum conf.d directory. These machines were almost all updated from Tao. Really sorry for the noise here. But thanks for the help provided.
