Hi!

The russian government has made a surprize. It changed the day of
dayligth saving to normal time change from last sunday of september
to the last sunday of october. The question is how to change
the timezone description ?

I have added the line to /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/europe that described
the change and changed the line describing the previous years
daylight saving time to limit its effect by 1995 year. Then I made

	make
	make install

It recreated the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory, then I copied the
Yekaterinburg zone (in Asia subdirectory though it is in the
europe source file) to /etc/localtime. No effect. Tried stand/sysinstall
to change the time zone. Rebooted as recommended. No effect.

Whad did I wrong ? I'm running 2.0.5 by the way. Thank you in advance!
