Day light savings update on linux systems that don't have updates

To check if the system needs the update

/usr/sbin/zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007

It should show Mar 11th to Nov 4th as the days to change.

If it shows Apr 1st to Oct 28t, it needs a new /etc/localtime

Found tzdata at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/dst/solaris_and_linux_systems.html  ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/

untar into it's own directory.
then

/usr/sbin/zic -d /tmp/time northamerica

this will create a directory of the north america time zones. I usually use the America/Los_angles one.

cp /etc/localtime /etc/localtime.old
cp /tmp/time/America/Los_Angles /etc/localtime
