Package: timezones

-- System Information
Debian Release: slink
Kernel Version: Linux verdi 2.1.125 #2 SMP Sun Oct 18 22:28:29 CDT 1998 i686 unknown
Versions of the packages timezones depends on:
ii libc6 2.0.7u-4 The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files)
--- Begin /etc/timezone (modified conffile)
Canada/Central
--- End /etc/timezone
I had my timezone set to US/Central. When we switched from Daylight
Savings Time to Standard Time, mail originating on my systems suddenly
started getting trapped by spam filters. It had a header with a time
specified as -0600 (EST) instead of -0600 (CST).
Note the difference in the timezone reported by the following
# /usr/sbin/zdump /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central

# /usr/sbin/zdump /usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Central
