It doesn't always work, though (and the preferred setting is something
like America/New_York , not est5edt).  I had the exact same problem on
my RHL 8 system.  I wonder if the "fall back" only works if the system
is running when the time change occurs?  All of my running systems fell
back properly.  My laptop which was not running required a manual
change.
