Daylight savings change

I found it quite a bear to update Solaris for the new DST. A patch install is required, but for most of my older Solaris boxes like 8 and 9 I also had prerequisite patches that needed to be installed. 
The easiest method I found was to install the Recommended patches and then the DST patch. Also, be careful to ensure that the Recommended doesn't affect you current setup. It just seems like too much work for a date correction.
On a side note, I believe that if you have Java installed on the machine that also requires an update to make it DST complaint.

JANA(1) jana-ecal-time User Manual JANA(1) NAME
jana-ecal-time - program to test if DST auto-adjust works. SYNOPSIS
jana-ecal-time DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the jana-ecal-time command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. jana-ecal-time is a program that creates a time object for 2:00 1/1/2007, GMT/BST and changes the month to July. If all goes well, the time should be adjusted forward by an hour and it should be in daylight savings. SEE ALSO
