Subject: Daylight Savings time.
This AM we were checking the time on our servers. A new server that had
recently been set up (within the last 4 months) was still displaying EDT. I
checked the TZ variable and it was set to "EST5EDT,," (sans quotes) Upon
investigation we find that the extra commas at the end were being set from
/etc/environment. I checked on another box that had the correct time and no
commas in the TZ variable, I used smit to update the time zone and it added
the commas to the TZ variable in /etc/environment.
Both boxes are at 4.3.3 ML10. Why is smit adding the commas? What is
their purpose? If smit is adding them I assume that it is a valid format,
but then why is the time not being displayed properly after the change from
Daylight savings time?
