Related to this subject, does anyone happen to know if the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory is a standard location for timezone data on linux and BSD systems? I already know this isn't the case with Windows, but who cares about Windows, right? :P
and sorry samson, i'm of no help with this, i don't even have zoneinfo directory in suse10.1 (which is my dev box) so i don't think it is a standard thing.
It sure looks that way. I'm sure having super accurate timezones and DST info would be nifty, but it's not really needed.
