" # Backup the "/usr/lib/locale/TZ" directory

" mv /usr/lib/locale/TZ /usr/lib/locale/TZ.bak || { echo "Backup failed"; exit
" 1; }
" 
" # Recreate the "/usr/lib/locale/TZ" directory

" mkdir /usr/lib/locale/TZ || { echo "mkdir failed"; exit 1; }

there is no such dir in solaris.  the tzdata files are in
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src on my s8 system.

" # Download the latest "tzdata*" file from the NIH
" 
" cd /usr/lib/locale/TZ || { echo "cd failed"; exit 1; }
" wget -q --passive-ftp --no-directories ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata*
" || { echo "wget failed"; exit 1; }

elsie seems to be the canonical clearinghouse for tz data; my
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/src/northamerica file begins:


#ident	"@(#)northamerica	1.17	06/11/02 SMI"

# @(#)northamerica	8.9
# <pre>

# also includes Central America and the Caribbean

# This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,
# go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to
# tz at elsie.nci.nih.gov for general use in the future).
