FC4 and 5 should not need any fixes.

zdump -v US/Central|grep 2007
US/Central  Sun Mar 11 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 CST isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600

FC2, well, I just overwrote /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT with one from
a newer machine and at least zdump shows the proper info.  Of course,
you'll have to do what's appropriate for your time zone.
Unfortunately I'm not really sure if this will actually do the right
thing when March 11 comes around.

That will only work if you explicitly set TZ=CST6CDT in your environment. You need to copy the appropriate timezone file to /etc/timezone for the default.
