Subject: New DST Rules for 2007


Ladies & Gentlemen,
 
I asked a question on linuxquestions.org about what exact commands I
would need to install your patch that will update the new DST rules on
my RH 8.0 pc.  One guy responded with the following:
 
]$ cd /tmp && { mkdir tz && cd tz || exit 1; }
wget -q 'ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tz*.tar.gz' || exit 
]$ gzip -dc tzcode*.tar.gz | tar -xf -
]$ gzip -dc tzdata*.tar.gz | tar -xf -
]$ which nawk >/dev/null 2>&1|| { sed -i 's|nawk|gawk|g' Makefile ||
exit 1; }
]$ LOCALTIMEVAR0=`grep ^ZONE= /etc/sysconfig/clock 2>/dev/null| awk
-F'=' '{print $2}'|tr -d '"'`
]$ LOCALTIMEVAR1=`make zonenames 2>/dev/null|grep -m1 $LOCALTIMEVAR0|awk
'{print $1}'`
]$ [ -n $LOCALTIMEVAR1 ] || exit 1 && { sed -i
"s|Factory|$LOCALTIMEVAR1|g" Makefile \
&& make install; echo 'Done!'; }
 
The blue code I've already done and I understand.  But what about the
green code?  Do you see anything there that may create something
malcious or unsecure?  I don't think so but I wanted to get your more
educated & trusted opinion.  Is it correct for east coast time zone (New
York)?
 
 
 
Thanks!
