Realm Linux: Currently supported Realm kits have been compliant with the DST changes since fall of 2005 and are currently patched. You can verify a DST patch status using the commands and versions numbers below:
For RHEL and Fedora Core you need a tzdata package with the version
2005m-2 or greater.
These versions work as follows: <year><letter code>-<numeric release>
So version 2005n-2 qualifies as being greater. To check current versions of time zone patches:
Fedora Core 6:
[slack@anduril ~]$ rpm -q tzdata
tzdata-2006p-1.fc6
tzdata-2006p-1.fc6
RHEL 3 and Realm Linux 3:
unity% rpm -q tzdata
tzdata-2006m-3.el3
tzdata-2006m-3.el3
RHEL 4 and Realm Linux 4:
unity% rpm -q tzdata
tzdata-2006m-3.el4
tzdata-2006m-3.el4
Ubuntu/Debian based distributions you can run:
$ dpkg --status tzdata
Ubuntu/Debian use the same versioning scheme. Check that
the current package for Ubuntu is 2006m-1ubuntu1 or higher.
