US timezone changes Mar 2007
Hi
As per Suns guide, I have installed the 2 patches that are required to prepare for the US DST change. The first patch updates the zoneinfo database in /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo and I can test that the patch has worked by running the following command
zdump -v US/Eastern | grep 2007
The second patch is a patch that makes changes to the libc library for POSIX based timezone stuff. Which I have applied and rebooted
My question , How do I test that the libc/POSIX patch has worked???? .... What command can I use to see if the date has changed ? As I say testing the zoneinfo patch is easy...but this one has me stumped
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Gary
