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?
