It looks like your problem is an out-of-date timezone file. NSW changed from ending daylight saving on the first Sunday in March to ending on the last Sunday in March last year. So an out of date file would mean your linux system ended daylight saving three weeks early. Up-to-date timezone files can be found at ftp://munnari.oz.au/pub/tzdata1997d.tar.gz cheers, Euan. p.s. for anyone who is interested, there will be a positive leap second added to UTC on 30 June. -- Euan Troup, etroup@atnf.csiro.au Australia Telescope, Parkes Observatory.
