I'm seeing what I hope is correct behavior here on the mother system (see below).

Subject: Australian timezone on Linux
Hi,
I have a problem setting the Australian DST timezone on my Fedora Core 8 system.
When DST starts it is able to advance the time by an hour but the time does not wind back by an hour while DST ends.
I am using timezone "South Australia".
DST start :
[girish at mymachine Australia]$ date
Sun Oct 5 01:59:57 CST 2008
[girish at mymachine Australia]$ date
Sun Oct 5 01:59:58 CST 2008
[girish at mymachine Australia]$ date
Sun Oct 5 03:00:00 CST 2008
[girish at mymachine Australia]$ date
Sun Oct 5 03:00:03 CST 2008
DST end :
[girish at mymachine Australia]$ date
Sun Apr 5 02:59:57 CST 2009
[girish at mymachine Australia]$ date
Sun Apr 5 02:59:59 CST 2009
[girish at mymachine Australia]$ date
Sun Apr 5 03:00:01 CST 2009
[girish at mymachine Australia]$ date
Sun Apr 5 03:00:02 CST 2009
This is also not working for Apr 6 08.
Is there any reason why is it not working properly?
Regards,
Girish
