Daylight savings change in Singapore, why?
I have some systems that when the time changed in the states for daylight savings, it also changed here, why? There is no daylight savings in singapore, it is on the equater, the days are always 12 hours and the nights are always 12hours............This is my /etc/default/init file:
TZ=Singapore
CMASK=022
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1
I am running Solaris 8.
Does it have anything to do with the LC environment?
Thanks, Mike

Unknown. It does not happen on my test Solaris 8 machine, but that may be (very far) behind on timezone patches.
Here's a quick test program in perl. Does yours show a timejump a few days ago? Note my local time (US/Pacific) does, but Singapore does not.
$ perl -le '$t=time;for (0 .. 5) {print scalar localtime $t - ($_ * 60*60*24);}'
