Not sure which release of Red Hat you're referring to. Advanced Server 2 used 2.4.9 kernel, Enterprise Linux 3 used 2.4.21, RHEL4 uses a 2.6 kernel. I've not tracked the Fedoras, maybe one of them used 2.4.18. In AS2 /usr/share/zoneinfo was delivered by the glibc-common rpm. I dunno if there's a newer one of that, AS2 is pretty old now. In EL3 and EL4 it's the tzdata rpm, they probably have an update for it. Or you could pull down tzdata and tzcode yourself and build yourself a fresh rpm. Or pull the zoneinfo bent linux package, it's a universal doner for platforms that can run statically linked Linux elf x86 executables, or you can just unpack the cpio.bz2 and move the usr/share/zoneinfo tree into place. -Bennett
