Summary:Re: patch for US daylight savings time changes on Solaris 9

Thanks to all who responded.  


the patches do/did work. It was operator error...  Or
more specifically my misunderstanding of the GMT to
Eastern time offset...

before the time change in March, the GMT to eastern
time difference is 5 hours.

before the time change in Nov, the GMT to eastern time
difference is 4 hours.  

so to test i had to set my time ( using the date cmd,
the -u option sets it using GMT time. ) to 5:59am GMT
rather than 6:59am GMT. 

-------- the error in my ways ----------------
when I used 6:59am GMT in Nov, the time was already
ahead in the eastern time zone...
