The government of Yukon Territory (located in northern Canada) recently announced it will extend daylight saving in 2007. This is in line with assumptions already made in the Olson database; no changes are required. http://www.gov.yk.ca/news/2006/06-164.html -chris

Internet draft "A Timezone Option for DHCP" available
by Paul Eggert Aug. 8, 2006

Aug. 8, 2006

I'd like to announce the availability of the Internet draft "A Timezone Option for DHCP", by Eliot Lear of Cisco Systems and myself, dated 2006-07-17. This draft specifies new options for the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, so that DHCP servers can specify their clients' time zone settings while they're also specifing other stuff like IP addresses and DNS servers. The draft provides for two ways to set the time zone: one via a TZ string as defined by POSIX, and the other via a TZ string that refers to the tz database. The draft also deprecates the older method of specifying time zones purely via UTC offsets. Eliot Lear and I welcome any comments on this draft, particularly on the time zone issues. You might also be amused by its "Security Considerations" section. Here's a URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-timezone-o… PS. There are two obvious typos that you don't need to tell us about. The word "compatibility" is misspelled. And the first sentence of Section 2 says "The following three options are defined" but there are only two options.
