I'm running production systems without access to the internet (yes it still happens). If I had been able to run yum, I wouldn't be sweating the problem. For those who might not be able to find the old posts... The real information I was lacking to find what I needed was the tzdata rpm name... the change log for the RPM is provided below. http://fr.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/updates/4/i386/tzdata-2006g-1.fc 4.noarch.html You can find copies of the RPM on most updated mirrors or @ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/i386/ for FC4... Also, thanks for the google "site:" tip. Thanks guys, all is well now. - Gareth -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matthew J.

Gareth, Les Mikesell has covered checking the systems to see if they are up to date. I will tell you to update FC3 and FC4 systems. First, you need to configure the machines to get updates from the Fedora Legacy repos. This is covered in detail at: http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy/YumFC3Detailed http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy/YumFC4Detailed My experience was that the main Fedora legacy servers were unavailable. Mirrors were required, including changing the "baseurl" entries in "/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-legacy.repo". A list of Fedora legacy mirrors is at: http://fedoralegacy.org/download/fedoralegacy-mirrors.php Once this is done, updating the timezone data is as simple as: # yum update tzdata For reference, this updated my FC3 machines to "tzdata-2006a-2.fc3.1" and my FC4 machines were already at "tzdata-2006g-1.fc4" and did not have an update available. Once the tzdata update is complete, it can be verified as follows: # zdump -v US/Eastern | grep 2007 US/Eastern Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 US/Eastern Sun Mar 11 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 US/Eastern Sun Nov 4 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400 US/Eastern Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000 Note that the DST rules correctly state that it starts on March 11th and ends on November 4th. Something is wrong if they still say April 1st to October 28th.
