Timezone / daylight switch problems < AIX
forrest d whitcher
to Summer time. The log.smb file indicates that the server thinks the
time is one hour behind actual system time.
include.h section for aix says '#define HAVE_TIMEZONE', while
other unixen are configed with '#define HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY'.
AIX actually has both, Any thoughts how to fix (aside from
'local offset = -60' which I've done for the moment :-( )
Thanks, forrest

I already sent this to Andrew:
if you have #HAVE_TIMEZONE, the system will provide two global
(extern) variables: timezone *AND* daylight (at least this is the
case at my HPUX machine, but seems to be in the standard C lib)
Now timezone is (correctly) set to the timezone: e.g. mine is MET-1,
so the offset is set to UTC+1.
But - and here's the problem - the daylight variable is not used.
This variable is either 1, when daylight savings are in effect
or 0 when not.
Solution:
change line 158 in util.c (procedure TimeDiff) for version 1.9.10 from:
timediff = timezone
to:
timediff = timezone - 3600*daylight
And *some* of your problems might disappear...
Remark: I haven't really checked the #HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY option, but
I suspect it to have a similar problem
