However, once you've updated the timezone files, you either need to restart all of the processes which have cached the old TZ file info, or simply reboot. You might find running "ntpdate -b" to reset your clock once before starting ntpd will help correctly sync if your local clock is one hour off (depends on whether your BIOS is trying to keep local time or GMT time)...see "man adjkerntz". -- -Chuck
