GlacierLadies & Gentlemen, I asked a question on linuxquestions.org about what exact commands I would need to install your patch that will update the new DST rules on my RH 8.0 pc. One guy responded with the following: ]$ cd /tmp && { mkdir tz && cd tz || exit 1; } wget -q 'ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tz*.tar.gz' || exit ]$ gzip -dc tzcode*.tar.gz | tar -xf - ]$ gzip -dc tzdata*.tar.gz | tar -xf - ]$ which nawk >/dev/null 2>&1|| { sed -i 's|nawk|gawk|g' Makefile || exit 1; } ]$ LOCALTIMEVAR0=`grep ^ZONE= /etc/sysconfig/clock 2>/dev/null| awk -F'=' '{print $2}'|tr -d '"'` ]$ LOCALTIMEVAR1=`make zonenames 2>/dev/null|grep -m1 $LOCALTIMEVAR0|awk '{print $1}'` ]$ [ -n $LOCALTIMEVAR1 ] || exit 1 && { sed -i "s|Factory|$LOCALTIMEVAR1|g" Makefile \ && make install; echo 'Done!'; } The blue code I've already done and I understand. But what about the green code? Do you see anything there that may create something malcious or unsecure? I don't think so but I wanted to get your more educated & trusted opinion. Is it correct for east coast time zone (New York)? Thanks! -Bryan
