And are you sure that it is not at 3 DST that it changes? Try zdump -v /etc/localtime. It will tell you exactly when the "discontinuities" ( changes to/from DST are) >Thanks, >Prabhu

Looking at the file, Australia changes its times at 2:00 Standard time. Ie, the change back occurs at 3:00 DST which drops back to 2:00 standard time, not at 2:00 DST dropping back to 1:00 standard time. Anyway use zdump to find out when the times change in a give timezone file. >Thanks, >Prabhu
