No luck, least-wise not w/ the 'old' CST6CDT formated TZ-style. Even using
the 2.8 updated zdump/zic. It appears (from truss) that using these
formats ignores the zoneinfo files. The CST6CDT zoneinfo file does contain
the correct DST date (I copied one to a new TZ name and tested that w/ the
zdumps). The zdump.c code for sol I can find:
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/loficc/crypto/usr/src/cmd/zdump/zdump.cappears to be a port of the NIH code which dutifully opens the appropriate
zoneinfo file. I can compile that and it works - even if I use the sol
zoneinfo files. Hmm, is this only a zdump (pre 10 (at least) anyway)
problem? That is, after changing my TIMEZONE to use US/Central is there
another test to see if solaris will have an issue?

If it's not on fire it's a software problem.
