Regardless of all points taken in this discussion think a moment of the humor of the whole thing, please. The repair for Linux is one file that is not even an executable. For my case it's the usr share file: "/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles"
And how would one go about fixing it?, mine (/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York) seems to be some compressed format.
This does not need fixing. When/if the date/time of the change between standard and daylight times changes, your timezone file (New York | Los Angeles | whatever) gets replaced/updated and it automagically happens at the proper time.
That file as you both have listed tells the system when to switch times. There are many of those files on your system, one for each official time zone area around the world.
Yes, but on this FC2 box, there is not to my knowledge, any mechanism for auto-updating the file. Can you elaborate on hwo this is done?
