A month ago I downloaded tzdata2007b.tar.gz, compiled it and installed a =
new /etc/localtime.  All seemed OK.

Now, after the time change, I've had to restart both 'fetchmail' and 'sen=
dmail' to get '/var/log/maillog' in-sync with the new time.  Not a proble=
m; apparently these processes use time-data based on their original start=
up.

But what else needs to be restarted?  'top' (edited) for root shows:

  PID  STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
  242  select   4:37  0.00%  0.00% syslogd
  386  nanslp   3:28  0.00%  0.00% cron
  418  select   0:32  0.00%  0.00% inetd
18001  select   0:01  0.00%  0.00% sshd
 6985  RUN      0:00  0.00%  0.00% top
 6844  pause    0:00  0.00%  0.00% csh
  423  ttyin    0:00  0.00%  0.00% getty (x8 Lines)
  167  pause    0:00  0.00%  0.00% adjkerntz
  224  select   0:00  0.00%  0.00% devd

Maybe 'cron' -- daily & security email is an hour off.

Should I just restart the whole system? (FreeBSD 5.4, i386)
