Aihe: Daylight Saving Time update
There does not seem to be much buzz about this topic, but if you deal
with systems outside AZ, you might want to make sure your systems are
updated.

Older systems (FC3 and older, I believe) and many others need a manual
update. Here's what I used on a couple of FC2 boxes I have:

cd /tmp
wget 'ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2007c.tar.gz'
tar -xzvf tzdata2007c.tar.gz
zic -d zoneinfo northamerica
cd zoneinfo
cp -r * /usr/share/zoneinfo/
rm -f /etc/localtime
ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/MST /etc/localtime
zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007
cd ..
rm -rf tzdata2007c.tar.gz zoneinfo
find . -user 8800 | xargs rm
