[sf-lug] Linux and the new DST

[Jim Stockford]

   what CentOS on which links? there's a pbone link and a
reference to time-a.nist.gov but no CentOS.
   the tzdata file (which is updated beyond the 2006m package
i referenced) is a data file (the noarch signifies you can use
it on any architecture, i think S390 or powerpc or....).
   i think the fine/safe emphasis is Red Hat's way of protecting
their support group and no harm done in this case.

   I don't know about Red Hat to [ CentOS | Whitebox ] converts.

   Hey, nobody's beat me up about 5 1 * * * /sbin/hwclock --systohw
