No luck, least-wise not w/ the 'old' CST6CDT formated TZ-style. Even using 
the 2.8 updated zdump/zic.  It appears (from truss) that using these 
formats ignores the zoneinfo files. The CST6CDT zoneinfo file does contain 
the correct DST date (I copied one to a new TZ name and tested that w/ the 
zdumps).  The zdump.c code for sol I can find:
http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/loficc/crypto/usr/src/cmd/zdump/zdump.c

Yes, POSIX requires that it ignores the zoneinfo files.

appears to be a port of the NIH code which dutifully opens the appropriate 
zoneinfo file. I can compile that and it works - even if I use the sol 
zoneinfo files. Hmm, is this only a zdump (pre 10 (at least) anyway) 
problem? That  is, after changing my TIMEZONE to use US/Central is there 
another test to see if solaris will have an issue?


Why can't you just install the zoneinfo files and set the TZ to
America/Whatever?
