It looks like, at least on a 6-Stable system(March 7), that if you use the Indianapolis choice you will get the DST change. It(the 6-stable zoneinfo file) isn't as new as the one obtained from the link below but the change for Indianapolis looks the same. This has instructions for updating zone file info. https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Resources/KnowledgeBase/Docs/20060128100824 I had to use this on some 4.11-stable systems that I have in production. If you find any discrepancies in the above, please let me know. Thanks. Dave __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
