You need updated zone info files to tell the system when DST starts 
and stops in your zone, and how much offset it has, etc.

This link:

Will explain, step by step, what you need to do if you can't just 
update with a pre-compiled package of zone info.  It also has 
pointers to where you can find the data files needed.  I just 
finished following the instructions, and all seems to be well here 
according to zdump.

Don't forget the cp command to update /etc/localtime...Linux doesn't 
use a symbolic link like it should be doing...
