Not sure, if you are living in California, that you set your timezone to |
| 19 |
Canada/Newfoundland... though admittedly, I don't know the TZ rules in |
| 20 |
Canada. Did they too change their DST dates? |

You don't need to reboot. Well, maybe if you made this change recently |
| 60 |
(e.g. after DST changed) you do. But basically what you are seeing |
| 61 |
(from zdump) looks ok to me, meaning at 11 Mar 10:00:00 UTC your local |
| 62 |
time is 3:00 AM and DST switches on. and on 4 Nov 9:00:00 UTC your local |
| 63 |
time is 1:00 AM and DST switches off. |
