Daylight savings

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I've got an old RedHat 7.3 that works well for me, but I've
always had a bit of trouble about the daylight savings stuff.

The machine is set to PDT, but does not adjust automatically,
so when daylight savings is off, things get weird.  I cannot
figure out how to get it set properly.  Any clues?

What I know:
	/etc/timezone says "America/Los_Angeles" and this
	   appears to name a subdirectory and file of
	   /usr/share/zoneinfo, pointing to a binary file.
	I do not seem to run with a TZ or TIMEZONE environment
	   variable
        The 'tzselect' program does not give me any options
	   related to daylight savings.

What I don't know:
	where the PST/PDT choice is made, or why PDT is shown
	   in the output of the 'date' command, other than
	   that I remember their being such an option during
	   the initial software installation.
