DST Time Change for positive timezones not working
I was doing timezone and DST testing which is required for some of my products
Here is the strange behaviour i observed
First i did set the timezone to PST 2010 (which is less than GMT basically negative timezone)
DST starts here and works fine
--------------------------------
DST end here works fine
-----------------------------
When it connes to positive timezon like paris(which is GMT+1)
DST starts here and works fine
------------------------------
DST ends here and doesn't reset back
------------------------------------
Note:in the above case when i did set time to 2:59:55 and said ok by then CEST became CET already. That could be the reason why DST is not happening.
I tried with few other positive and negative timezone configuration all the negative time zones resets back properly where as all the positive timezones doesn't
All my timezone files are up to date,i am using fedora 9
Can any one help me regarding this ...thanks a ton in advance

Hello AIX friends,
We have timezone settings on our AIX 6.1 boxes set to Europe/London.

After running "smit chtz_user" I don't see UTC option in the listing.
