Thanks to everyone for quick replies! Short answer is that since 2.5.1
and 2.6 are past EOL, I can pay sun $150K to provide me with patches, or
make the mods myself using:

 

/usr/sbin/zic 

 

on latest timezone tables downloaded from www.nih.gov
<http://www.nih.gov/> . This is supposed to be fairly straightforward.

 

Supposedly a Solaris 7 patch may actually be out there yet, as it's
reaching EOL in 2007.

 

It was also noted that these OS are very old, and really should be
updated - understood, but due to complicated circumstances probably
won't happen, definitely won't happen before March 26th. Sigh...

 

Thanks again!
