DST issue

[dsr at tao.merseine.nu (Dan Ritter)]

If you have some old systems where you applied the tzdata fixes
through zic;

and zdump -v timezone |grep 2007 shows the right output

and you are wondering why nothing appears to be paying
attention to that

make sure that /etc/localtime is a symbolic link, rather than a
copy of the [old] compiled timezone in question.

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

-dsr-
