Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Canada timezone files

[Mike <Mi...@4a...>]

Bruce,

I thought tzdata was a package on to it's own?  Home page:
http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm

Latest tzdata database files are here: ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/

I've just started patching all my linux servers also using the latest
tzdata from the above ftp server, but haven't got to my DL boxes yet to
check.

Also there are a slew of MS updates if anyone has to support them, look
here: http://www.microsoft.com/DST2007
