Note that it says EST instead of EDT. I have no TZ variable set.
Can someone *please* tell what I have to do to fix this?
FC4 glibc didn't have /usr/sbin/tzdata-update (it was only introduced in
FC5+ and later backported to RHEL4 and RHEL3). So, after you update
tzdata
package, if the changes are in your default timezone, you need to
return system-config-date or manually update /etc/localtime.

Why can't you run yum update tzdata or use up2date???
BTW, you are saying FC5 machines do not need to do anything? The new DST
is already in place? I have 2 Fedora releases in the field. FC3 and FC5.
I also have several hundred legacy 7.2 redhat machines out there with no
internet connection. Any ideas on how to fix them?
Thanks
