Those of you out there running older freebsd machines that require an update for the new DST can find the update timezone files under \/usr\/ports\/misc\/zoneinfo. To find out if you need the update, run this from the command line:<\/p>\n
zdump -v \/etc\/localtime | grep 2007<\/p>\n
It should report:<\/p>\n
\/etc\/localtime Sun Mar 11 05:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 AST isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400
\n\/etc\/localtime Sun Mar 11 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 2007 ADT isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800
\n\/etc\/localtime Sun Nov 4 04:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:59:59 2007 ADT isdst=1 gmtoff=-10800
\n\/etc\/localtime Sun Nov 4 05:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 AST isdst=0 gmtoff=-14400<\/p>\n
If it doesn’t report march 11th and nov 4th make sure your ports tree is current and do the following:<\/p>\n
cd \/usr\/ports\/misc\/zoneinfo
\nmake install && make clean
\ntzsetup <\/p>\n
Choose your local timezone in here and accept the changes. Then re-run the above zdump command. If it reports March 11th instead of April 1st you’re good to go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
