Place Suse in DST 2008/2009.

According to the Ministry of Mines and Energy , the next daylight saving time Brazil will begin on October 19, 2008 and end on February 15, 2009.

On Linux, in particular on OpenSuse and Suse Enterprise, this is a trivial change for those who are familiar with the command line. To start download the file below and stay in / tmp /

TimeZoneBrasil2008-2009 (926) - 305 bytes

Oh, just follow the commands below, always as root:

  # Unzip / tmp / susebrst.zic.zip
 # Zic / tmp / susebrst.zic

Ready! Easier than that it would have been automatic ...

@ Jhony
You are not the only man in trouble. Here the root user shows the normal mortal but users are in the wrong time.
I'm investigating and leave more information here.
UPDATED: With respect to your symptoms, enter yast tool, system, Date and Time, choose any one location and then choose the East Brazil. Here we have it all, just in case, then perhaps we did not have the symptoms above.

Here where we apply this file already discovered what the problem. The symptoms appeared was the root user with the regular time (EST) and users as deadly UTC! So, I checked the file / etc / localtime was with the wrong file permission.
server: / etc # ls-al localtime-ALH
-Rw --- 2 root root 79 Oct 19 01:31 localtime
server: / etc #
This was due to the operating system variable umask be set to 0600, when the default in SuSE was 0644. This was mudade here on the recommendation of an outside consultant to "information security". When we implemented the new timezone file and it recreated the file / etc / localtime he created with the wrong permissions.
Solution: chmod 0644 / etc / localtime.
Apart from that everything else ran normal here.
