umm, this thread is going in circles. settimeofday(NULL, &tz) provides
the mechanism to do this. in fact, my original post was just a
question about where to stick the user-level bits. i have it in the
update daemon, for example, as it has minimal overhead (most likely
less than a regularly scheduled cron job) and you never need to call
settimeofday unless the timezone actually changes. given that update
runs every 10 seconds, you even get pretty good resolution on a
timezone switch.
so, who is responsible for the update daemon now? i sent an email a
while back to ewt@redhat.com, but that seems to have fallen on deaf
ears.
