Most probably you did not react to a meesage posted here by Bill Hollett, 
which I reporduce below.

Do you have automatic update working in XP? In Fedora?

Until the bolew (or equivalent) is done, yes.

Here's a good article on updating older linux systems to the new
Daylight Savings Time info (which happens this weekend).

http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS6300294422.html

I've tested this on RedHat 7.3 and 9.x systems

When done, you can run timeconfig to copy over the new info.

I read the article and from it, created a script which I have run on a variety 
of linux machines (most of them more rcent than Bill's), and they all worked 
out fine. I did not, as the article hinted, reboot, but did restart a variety 
of serves (Apache, BIND, syslog, sendmail, NFS) where running, and so far I 
see things have worked out quite well. I probably forgot one or two machines, 
since I was focusing on servers. Today, in my copious free time, I'll do any 
desktop machines that were left out of the fun and games.
