[TriLUG] DST fix

[Michael Rothwell]

You should just be able to apply a recent Fedora or RHEL tzdata  
package (--force, perhaps).

To check for correct timezone data for the new DST change:

# /usr/sbin/zdump -v CST6CDT | grep 2007
CST6CDT  Sun Mar 11 07:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 CST  
isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600
CST6CDT  Sun Mar 11 08:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 CDT  
isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000
CST6CDT  Sun Nov  4 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:59:59 2007 CDT  
isdst=1 gmtoff=-18000
CST6CDT  Sun Nov  4 07:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov  4 01:00:00 2007 CST  
isdst=0 gmtoff=-21600
