Possible bug in DST patches
I am running Trusted Solaris 8 12/02 x86
I have installed patches 125235-01 and 125237-01. It appears the spring forward time change works however the fall back time change does not seem to be losing an hour. I performed the following steps to test the time changes.
Spring forward time change:
1. Set the time using 慸ate 031101592007?which sets the time to Sun Mar 11 01:59:00 CST 2007
2. Using the date command I verified the time springs ahead and changes to Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 CST 2007 skipping the 2 am hour.
This tells me the spring forward worked.
Fall back time change:
1. Set the time using 慸ata 110401592007?to set the time to Sun Nov 4 01:59:00 CST 2007
2. Using the date command I tried to verify that the time would fall back and count the 1 am hour again but it did not. The date continued into the 2 am hour normally.
Because of this I am gussing there may be a bug in the patches.
If I am doing something wrong or if there is a better way to test the time change please let me know. Thanks
Josh
