Summary:Re: patch for US daylight savings time changes on Solaris 9

Thanks to all who responded.


the patches do/did work. It was operator error... Or
more specifically my misunderstanding of the GMT to
Eastern time offset...

before the time change in March, the GMT to eastern
time difference is 5 hours.

before the time change in Nov, the GMT to eastern time
difference is 4 hours.

so to test i had to set my time ( using the date cmd,
the -u option sets it using GMT time. ) to 5:59am GMT
rather than 6:59am GMT.

-------- the error in my ways ----------------
when I used 6:59am GMT in Nov, the time was already
ahead in the eastern time zone...

patch for US daylight savings time changes on
Solaris 9






Has anyone tested the results of the patches
successfully?

I applied the solaris 9 patches, ( 112874-37 and
113225-05 ) followed by a reboot, and changed the
system time to March 11, 2007 1:59 am and at 2:00 am
the time changed to 3:00am..

but when i then change the system time to Nov 4,
2007
1:59am .. the time does not change to 1:00am when it
ticks to 2:00am...



i've tried this on several different systems, V240
and
an E2900 after I applied the firmware upgrade to the
OBP and SC.

anyone tested it successfully?
